When Helena was born, her parents, both over 5 ft 11 tall, were shocked to discover that she had severe health issues. Doctors were pessimistic about her chances, but Helena defied the odds.

Jaime and Jakob, eagerly awaiting their first child, received the distressing news during the 12th week of pregnancy that something was wrong. They faced weeks of uncertainty and fear as doctors struggled to diagnose the issue. Eventually, they were advised to consider an abortion due to Helena’s undeveloped lungs, but Jaime was determined to give her a chance.
