When Carolyn Funk from Joplin, MO learned she was pregnant with her second child, she left her abusive husband, Donald, and took her daughter, Cassie, then 3 years old, to her mother’s in Missouri. Three months after the baby sadly died of SIDS, she moved back in with Donald. But turmoil ensued and Donald took off with Cassie to Greenville, NC and filed for divorce with full custody of Cassie. Carolyn had no means to support herself and was forced to live on the street and in shelters. Donald was awarded full custody of Cassie. Carolyn was able to stay in touch with Cassie, but after Cassie turned 12, the contact stopped. After ten years of unanswered letters and disconnected phone numbers, Carolyn was convinced she was never going to see her daughter again. Today, Carolyn lives in Grand Lake, OK with her husband of four years. She is undergoing chemotherapy for Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. She wants to see her daughter again and also alert her about the hereditary disease. Cassie, currently a student at Clemson University in South Carolina, always held onto the memory of her mother. She had no idea that Carolyn had been trying to connect with her for all of these years.
