Ronald McDonald House NYC – Maggie & Sarah’s Story
Maggie Miller was trying to comfort her 9 month old daughter Sarah as she cried uncontrollably in pain. As she was holding her, she noticed tiny bruises all over Sarah’s body. Like any loving mother, Maggie took her daughter to the hospital to take every precaution. That’s when she found out something was terribly wrong.
