"They don't care for my safety."

13-year-old Cambrie Sharp has up to four seizures per day. She had two while our crew was at the family's Hazel Dell, IL home.

Her doctors recommended a surgery, which her family's insurer denied... until after our team reached out. The result, bigger than we ever could have predicted.
