In the wake of tragic and unimaginable circumstances, a couple was on the brink of hopelessness, especially after doctors told them their baby wouldn’t make it. But against all odds, they chose to confide in God and fight for their child. What happened next baffled everyone!
No parent can bear the insurmountable pain of seeing their children in harm’s way. Sadly, some situations are beyond parents’ control, and despite their best efforts, there’s only so much they can do to improve things.
