They rely on faith, family, friends and fight

“I’ve been going to church more since Owen was born. You just look for that comfort and peace. Plus, my family and our mutual friends have helped support and motivate us. We have a type of village that looks out for us. I mean, it’s been really hard on all of us. But we’ve been able to stick together and see it through.”
“Owen has been through so much this year. But he’s a little fighter. And what I see in ourselves is that there’s a strength you don’t know you have until you’re pushed to the limit. We’ve had so many obstacles, we almost don’t pay attention to them anymore. It’s like, OK, this is what we’re going to do this week. If you would have asked us last year, I probably would have told you there’s no way we’re going to make it through everything we’ve faced as a family. But then, you just do.”
