Maia Campbell’s Family Speaks Out

After several media outlets made a mockery of Maia Campbell's illness in conjunction with her substance abuse. Maia's mother's (who is the late Author Bebe Moore Campbell) best friend located Maia and enrolled her in rehad. As most of you know i didn't post the videos of Maia, because it was not worth a laugh. At least not in my eyes. We here at AutumnJones send out our love in hopes that Maia and her family get through these times. Maia has a serious case of SCHIZOPHRENIA as well as substance abuse. Since Maia is in rehad for recovery Maia Campbell’s father and grandmother have spoken out:

"Our hearts have been deeply touched by the outpouring of love that so many of you have freely displayed in the past several days about our beloved Maia C. Campbell. Our spirits have been lifted by your words of support and your acts of kindness and we have been encouraged to continue our efforts to assist our daughter and granddaughter to become whole again.

As a family, we have been struggling with Maia in her illness for quite some time. We continue to hold fast to our faith and hope that some day she will realize that healing will begin when she decides to reach out and accept the help and treatment that have been offered to her. We all have challenges in life that we must face, but when compound problems such as mental illness and substance abuse are prevalent, it can appear that there is no way out. However, our sustaining faith and trust in God compels us to believe differently. We strongly believe that Maia will be healed.

We also know that Maia’s mother, the late Bebe Moore Campbell, who devoted much of her later years in life to mental health awareness and education, along with her family members and friends would welcome your prayers and support for Maia’s sustained recovery. "
