Welcome to the World Casey

The woman had to drop out of college. She had no family to help her through these hard times. She could not afford to be a single working mother and a college student, not to mention the time it would all take.

She was eight months pregnant. She had to drop out of college, move out of her dorm, find a new place to live, and get ready for the new baby.

The stress was becoming unbearable. She went into premature labor about three weeks before her due date.

Her child was alright, except that the baby had trouble breathing since it’s lungs had not finished developing. They had to put the child in an incubator. The woman had trouble coming up with the money to pay for all the expenses, her insurance only covered part of them.

The woman named her new daughter Casey.
