“J’Ann knows how protective I am with Ava,” Claudia said. “Some might say I’m a little paranoid. I’m always checking to see if she’s breathing, so J’Ann showed me she is making sure she is keeping her eyes on Ava.”

Claudia's Facebook post has been shared more than 270,000 times. She created a GoFundMe account to raise money for mass production of a pants design to "help caregivers everywhere."
