LANSING, MI — Nurses across America have put their lives on the line all year working with coronavirus patients. One healthcare worker in Michigan took it a step further, stepping in as a surrogate for an old high school friend who she had lost touch with more than a dozen years ago.
Christy Acevedo was on Facebook when she noticed a callout for Katy Sanchez, someone she graduated from high school with in 2007, a report from FOX 47 News describes. Sanchez needed a surrogate mother to have her baby due to her taking part in a clinical trial connected to her cancer diagnoses.
