solitary vigil, a story of unending love
Noelia Ferreira, like hundreds of Massachusetts parents, cares for her medically fragile daughter, Abi, at home.

Abi needs nearly round the clock medical care that Noelia is forced to do herself. “It puts Abi at risk and it’s killing me.” Noelia says. Photos by Suzanne Kreiter/Globe staff.
