Mia was born healthy but was suddenly rushed to the hospital, where it was revealed that she has a terminal congenital genetic disorder.
Mia was born in October 2020, and her family enjoyed seven months of bliss. But things took a sudden turn when Sarah and Christopher’s baby began experiencing seizures. She was taken to the hospital, where Mia was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. She is terminally ill. The family receives support at the Berliner Herz children’s hospice in Berlin. We accompanied them during the final months before Mia’s passing.
