SONDERKONDITIONEN: SATZPREIS! Couple ?blessed? to have three children with albinism bemoan ?rude? comments and say ?never judge a book by its cover?
A mother of five who has three children born with albinism, which gives them pale skin and visual impairments which can cause them to ?walk into buildings?, has said she wishes people would stop making ?rude? and ?nasty? comments as she and her husband feel ?so blessed to have them?.
Stacey Chappell, 34, a full-time mother, and her husband Jason, 40, a cleaner, from Hebburn, South Tyneside, ?did not know anything about? albinism ? a condition which affects the production of melanin, the pigment that colours the skin, hair and eyes ? prior to their children?s diagnoses.
Albinism affects the family?s everyday life as the three children have to wear factor 50 sun cream every time they go outside, even when it is cloudy, and the couple have installed blackout curtains at home as sunlight can cause severe burns due to the reduced amount of melanin in their skin.
After the birth of their first child Jay, 15, Stacey said she ?blamed (herself)? for his albinism because ?(she) made him? and the couple were in and out of hospital ?all the time?.
Stacey said she suffered with postnatal depression and initially rejected help from others as she felt it was ?(her) responsibility? to look after him; however, the couple later made contact with Guide Dogs ? the leading UK charity for people with sight loss ? and this has been invaluable.
Despite the daily challenges the couple face, they said they feel ?privileged? to have three children with a ?rare? condition and they hope that by talking more openly about albinism, people will think twice before making ?nasty? comments, as people should ?never ever judge a book by its cover?.
?I feel privileged. I?m so blessed to have them because it?s a rare condition,? Stacey said.
?We?re actually honoured to have them as our kids; they?re so rare.
?People will go, ?Look at his hair, look at his eyelashes?? and I?ll say, ?Yeah, he?s an albino?.
?Then they?ll say, ?Why do you feel like you?ve got to tell people??, and I?ll say, ?Do you know why? Because I?m so privileged; I feel so special having them as my kids?.?
Three of Stacey and Jason?s children ? Jay, 15, Leon-James, three, and Amelia-Grace, one ? were born with albinism and, as a result, all three wear glasses and have visual impairments.
The couple?s other two children ? Sky, 13, and Lexi, 11 ? do not have the condition.

CATERS NEWS (PICTURED Harlow, 5, has Prader Willi Syndrome) This mum has to have a baby gate on her kitchen so that her daughter, who Prader Willi Syndrome, can't help herself to food as she never feels full. Holly Williams, from Newport, Wales, says that her daughter, Harlow, five, is constantly hungry due to being diagnosed with Prader Willi Syndrome when she was six months old. The 25-year-old mum-of-one has to have a baby gate on her kitchen and keep food out of reach because as a result of her condition, Harlow is missing chromosome 15 which controls hunger, and therefore she is constantly hungry. While Harlow is currently overweight, Holly says that she has to remain stern and tell Harlow 'no', and ensures she eats a healthy, balanced diet. SEE CATERS COPY

Story from Jam Press (Foreign Accent Syndrome)

Pictured: Abby after her first surgery.

Woman with extremely rare condition wakes up from surgery with THREE different accents – from countries she has no relation to

A woman who has three different accents has revealed the terrifying ordeal she's suffered after suddenly being unable to speak in her native drawl.

When Abby Fender woke up after surgery to fix a herniated disc, she was shocked to discover her vocals were "paralysed" and her Texas accent had disappeared.

A week later, the former singer claims she began speaking in a thick Russian accent without any connection to the country or ever having been there and doctors don’t know why.

Abby was eventually diagnosed with Foreign Accent Syndrome, a condition so rare it only affects around 100 people worldwide.

“I’m scared and terrified of never being able to speak normally again," she told NeedToKnow.online.

"I woke up from my surgery and immediately knew something was very wrong with my voice, as I couldn't speak with any volume.

"Soon, I began to feel the pitch of my voice go very, very high and we called it the 'Russian Minnie Mouse voice' where I sounded like a cartoon character all the time.

“Strangers I spoke to laughed in my face and I never got upset, because it was funny to begin with, but not anymore."

More recently, her accent has switched to Ukrainian and Australian, and Abby says she often has to lie about where she's from to avoid any further questions.

She said: “I don’t want to lie about where I’m from, yet sometimes, I do because it’s easier.

“Every time I do this, I feel like I’m denying who I really am and that’s not a good feeling, but I get asked: ‘Where are you from’ at least 10 times a day.

“I remember once I said that I was Ukrainian and the other person started speaking to me in their native tongue.

“I had no clue what to do, so I had to confess but before the current war, this wasn’t ever an
