Every baby is a gift—but little Tru Wende Beare’s arrival was nothing short of a miracle.

Born 14 weeks early and weighing just 1 pound, Tru was fighting for her life from the moment she entered the world. Her mother didn’t get to hold her until day 11. Her father had to wait until day 54.

For four long months, Tru battled in the NICU at Royal Columbian Hospital in Canada—facing everything from chronic lung disease to sepsis, NEC, a heart defect, and multiple blood transfusions. But day by day, she grew stronger.

By day 71, she moved from an incubator to a crib. On day 90, she switched to low-flow oxygen. Slowly but surely, she turned a corner.

Finally, after 128 days, Tru went home.

Today, she’s a happy, healthy 3-year-old with bright eyes, chubby cheeks, and a smile that melts hearts. From a fragile preemie to a thriving toddler, Tru is living proof that miracles do happen—and that some of the smallest fighters have the biggest strength.

We’re cheering you on, Tru. You’re truly an inspiration.
