OUR STORY
Baby Zaire
March 8th, 2016 as i sat at American Family Children’s Hospital surrounded by family and friends, we eventually had to say goodbye to Zaire.
As I road on the bed with Zaire to the wings of the surgery center for his organ donation surgery. I cried and I begged him to wake up in that moment
