When Connie Burkholder starts talking about her daughter Charity, she can go on for hours. “She is the love of my life,” Connie says about her six-year-old daughter.

Five years ago, Connie divorced Charity’s biological father. She has rebuilt a new life with her daughter, her husband Jon, and a baby on the way.

Things are not always easy for the three of them. Financial hardships are constantly present in their lives and Charity suffers from epilepsy, but Connie tries to provide the best for her daughter.
