October 25, 2019
Leah Messer has faced many challenges during her years in the spotlight,

Ali suffers from muscular dystrophy, and while she's been receiving the best available care throughout her life, in many ways, her condition has only worsened.
Now, Leah is opening up about her daughter's struggles like never before.

Messer does her best to offer all of her girls the same experiences, but the sad fact is, there are certain activities Ali will never get to enjoy.
