They were chasing the sun and a dream on a whim, just like they always did. But their last-minute getaway to South Florida veered tragically off course.

Zimprich, with four broken ribs, kept vigil over Maguire’s bed in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at Broward Health Medical Center. A deli-owner who learned of the family’s tragedy offered Zimprich his house. A woman who runs an Airbnb also offered her place. Both offers were free of charge. Touched by the generosity, Zimprich, though, declined the offers.
