People would be hard-pressed to find a girl as strong-spirited as Chrissy Munyon.

Born at 26 weeks gestation and weighing less than two pounds, Chrissy began an ongoing fight for life. Her parents lost hope and abandoned her while she was in the hospital, but Chrissy’s story was just beginning.

Despite doctor’s fears for Chrissy’s survival, Gilbertsville residents Donna Keyser and Deanna Munyon learned of her story and agreed to share a joint custody.
