At only the age of 51, Danine suffered 3 heart attacks and irreversible heart damage in May 2023. There was too much heart damage to do a bypass surgery or any alternative that could improve her condition. As the sole financial provider of 4 children, Danine returned to work to pay the bills.

Throughout the year, Danine’s health became progressively worse, to the point where any time outside of work was needed to be spent sleeping out of pure exhaustion and lack of heart function. In December 2023, Danine’s family made the decision that it was best for her to stay home and focus on her health, despite the financial concerns.

Neusa’s life was radically altered in a severe automobile accident on February 24, 2018 while visiting her family in Brazil.  The trauma physician examining her had never seen a severed cervical spinal cord in a living person, and though additional surgeries were performed following her return to the U.S., Neusa survives with severely limited movement in her shoulders and arms and paralysis from her chest down.
