Charity Rachelle Moses celebrated her earthly birthday in Indianapolis, IN on February 2, 2016. Faced with Trisomy 18 (aka Edward’s Syndrome) and a large VSD in her heart, medical professionals sent her home to die but her family decided they would instead take her home to live. Each of her 99 days was a true miracle and Charity was a champion and a fighter.
