“Even single parents or the elderly need to wait three to four years how much longer for someone like me?,” he said.
He also spoke about his wife’s fragile health, particularly her heart condition, and said he tries his best to protect her from physical strain
. “There was a time I worked from 8 AM until 10 PM. If I finish early, I go pick up the kids from school,” he shared.
Steven expressed his gratitude toward kind-hearted mothers who donated used toys for his children and mentioned that a recent family visit to Disneyland was only possible thanks to a fan who gifted them annual passes.
He appealed to the public to show more compassion and reduce the online criticism aimed at his family.
