Hope and Caleb arrived a month early and spent two weeks in the NICU, and it was there that Danita and Paul learned that Caleb was hearing-impaired. And when he was still a toddler, it was determined that he also had a form of epilepsy.

Health challenges such as these can be daunting to any family, but Danita relied upon her faith and her frequent prayers to see the family through. “I’ve always called on God,” says Danita.
