Montgomery County Couple Calls RMHC Home Away From Home

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) —  Imagine leaving your newborn baby in the hospital because she has to have life-saving surgery. This became a reality for Karl and Kim Hoffman.

Kim and Karl say that despite having such big obstacles to go through, having the people that care and take time of days to volunteer is amazing.
