This story
Otis was born at 25 weeks and survived an early brain bleed, later receiving diagnoses of complex epilepsy and cerebral palsy. His family of six began to struggle with isolation, constantly worrying whether a hospital was nearby if they left home. Respite care at Zoe's Place gave Otis a safe environment and gave his mother time to recharge and be with her other boys.
