A 23-year-old woman has adopted her 11-year-old sister after their mother died; the girl’s father, too, is struggling with a terminal illness.
Ezri Hart and Braidyn Neefe’s mother, Erika, 45, died last year after a stroke. Ms. Hart has taken on the care of her sibling, Braidyn, after Braidyn’s father, Michael, 49, was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
