In the heart of Mississippi, one of the poorest states in America, life is a daily struggle for many. Regina, a determined mother of three daughters, epitomizes resilience. Holding down a day job while attending nursing school, she manages to keep her family afloat. However, late in 2022, her life took a harrowing turn.
Regina's middle daughter, Ashley, just 12 years old, began to withdraw from her usual activities. Once a lively cheerleader, Ashley stopped participating in her team and avoided going outside. Then came the severe bouts of vomiting. Concerned, Regina took Ashley to the hospital, where their world was upended.
