Maci's story
Maci was a troubled young girl who spent the first four years of her life living in a group home. She was two years when her father died of an overdose on drugs and her mother developed a heroin addiction. At the age of 10, she passed away. Maci was abused by her mother's boyfriend and also suffered from chronic hearing loss. She also slept on a couch instead of a bedroom.
Maci is a happy, healthy child despite her disabilities. She uses her left arm and hand only partially. As a result, she will never be able to support herself the way she can with her right hand. Taylor McKinney is her adoptive mother, while Darin Jones is her father. Both were former law enforcement officers and had just opened a Vero-Beach restaurant. Lisa Jones, Lisa's biological mother had just begun a new job. The child was being raised now by a boyfriend.

One day, she decided to remove her hearing aids from her abuser in an attempt to deafen his voice. She never had a bedroom. She spent her entire time on the couch. Ultimately, she was adopted by a loving family.
