When Sarah was just 20 weeks in the womb, her mother found out she would be born with only one arm.
Like any mother, Sarah's knew that she would love her just the same. Nevertheless, like any mother, she knew her daughter would have a unique experience growing up and didn't want her to go through it alone.
Having a shared experience with someone can make all the difference. Sapphyre Johnson, now 3 years old, was also born with one arm, but her one-pawed puppy has made it easier to cope.
Sarah's mother accepted something every mother eventually has to: that as much as she loved her daughter unconditionally, she could never know exactly what her little girl was going through.
So she did something about it that would change the entire course of her Sarah's life.
The three-minute true story you're about to watch below almost didn't happen. When Skype wanted to tell a real story about a real family, their ad agency wasn't too interested.
"Doing true stories nice and well done is incredibly hard. When someone comes to me with a reality-based idea, it's a 'no' unless you really convince me it's a yes," said agency co-founder PJ Pereira.
But when Sarah's story found its way to Pereira, he was blown away.
"I get goosebumps just thinking about it. I knew that was a story we needed to tell," he told Adweek.
I think when you see this story, you'll get goosebumps too.
