Yolanda Foster Reveals That Bella and Anwar Hadid Had Lyme Disease
"When my two youngest children, Bella and Anwar, were diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease in early 2012, watching my babies struggle in silence in order to support me in my journey, struck the deepest core of hopelessness inside of me," the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star noted in the inaugural Gala.
Foster received the "Power of One" award in Global Lyme Alliance Gala before her family members including her husband David Foster and three children Bella, Anwar and Gigi Hadid, reported USA Today.
