The Miracle of Life
The Rodriguez family was living a normal, happy life. The young couple had one two-year-old son and another child on the way. That all changed one day in August when the loving husband and father, Jairo, was involved in a horrific, work-related accident; a concrete wall fell on top of him, crushing his skull.
His life hung in the balance. But Jairo was a survivor and he had the love and prayers of his adoring family. After nine months and two surgeries, this loving father and husband returned home to his wife, Jessie, son, Noah, and newborn baby, Isaiah. When The Granted Wish Foundation heard of this family's struggles, we were there to ease their burden.
