Today’s family in need: This loving mother is struggling to support her daughter, who suffers from a spine disorder.
Salvation Army Lt. Kelly Berggren recently met a woman who longed to have children.
Her daughter was born with a spine disorder and is in a full body cast, and her husband left shortly after the child was born.
The woman did not ask for help, according to Berggren.
“We first learned of her from her relative who approached us,” he said.
