It is a difficult time for Ryan Garcia‘s mother Lisa Garcia. A few days ago, her son Ryan Garcia faced yet another punishment – an expulsion order from the WBC. But, what’s more disturbing is the underlying reason for his indefinite suspension. Over the past couple of months, his social media tirade took a nasty route. Islamophobic and racist rants on recorded X-space conversations cost him royally on the professional front. After the fiasco, Lisa Garcia expressed her wish to have more positive people surrounding Ryan than the current group of people who according to her, rather use him for money and fame. Even his family put out an official statement expressing deep concern for his declining mental health. Add to that, her cancer diagnosis and failing health, and the path ahead seems to be a never-ending hellscape for the Garcia family. But, what can be the antidote during such difficult times?

Garcia’s mother is a devout Christian. Her faith in God is unshakable. So she derives her strength from her faith in God. Therefore, she is surrendering herself to God’s will to see her through such a difficult period. In an Instagram post, Lisa Garcia explained how God is the reason she remains joyful.

A voice of hope…

Sharing a motivational post of a man who got baptized a year ago, and let go of his vices, Lisa Garcia reinforced her faith in God. She wrote on her Instagram story, “I don’t care how sad my life might appear God You Are My Joy! It’s You that I feel hopeful and not for the things of this world but looking forward to eternity with You!!”

This demonstrates that her current circumstances won’t break her spirit. Though accepting her fate, she fights cancer with every action she takes. Despite her current struggles, she is also grateful for the support she has received from those around her. In a previous Instagram post, Lisa Garcia also expressed her gratitude for the “care package” she received from ‘Kaiser Permanente’, a leading healthcare consortium.

She received a brochure that aimed to raise awareness about breast cancer. In the same post, she conveyed that she was at peace with her situation. “I want to thank all of you who reached out with messages of support and love. Today I received a surprise (care package) from a organization called ROSE from @kaiserpermanente I just want to say that my Father in whom I trust with my physical life and my spiritual life has me in his hands – I feel good and praise Him and wish I could hug him,” the post read.

Shifting focus to Ryan Garcia, ‘KingRy’s family have done their bit in an effort to distance themselves from his recent hateful rant on X.

Ryan Garcia’s family stands by our son, but not his statements!

The 25-year-old boxers’ parents expressed regret over their son’s recent racist and Islamophobic statements. They pointed out that it doesn’t align with “family’s true character or beliefs”. Nevertheless, they showed their commitment towards “ensuring and encouraging that he receives the necessary help” as he struggles with “mental heath” issues.

Ryan Garcia is going through a tough time, and maybe she can gain strength from her mother and get the help that is required. But, will he listen to his mother and change his ways, or continue on his path to self-destruction?
