Introduction
Xara's story is one of courage, survival, and love. She was not expected to live past her first year, yet she kept going and kept surprising everyone around her.
Born with a PDA heart murmur, Xara faced challenges from the very beginning. Later, she broke her leg as a puppy and suffered a stroke when she was two years old. Even through all of that, Xara remained gentle, loving, and full of life.
