ERIE, Colo. — An Erie family has created a nonprofit to help others connect with in-home nurses following their own struggle to find care for their daughter.

"Back in August, we got her out, and she continues to grow and get healthier and bigger,” said Olivia’s father, Gary Knight. During that time, the Knights struggled to find in-home care for Olivia due to a nursing shortage, so they reached out on social media for help. They eventually found an in-home nurse through the placement agency Aveanna Healthcare.

The Knights hope to wean Olivia off in-home nursing in a few months. After one more procedure, they hope she'll be able to start school later this month.
