Miracle and Journee Brooks beat the odds when they were born as conjoined twins. 

The two were attached from their chest down to their belly button, which is known as a thoraco-omphalopagus.

At just seven weeks old, the pair went through a surgery to separate their bodies, something that only five to 25 percent of conjoined twins survive. 

Two years later, they are still alive but Journee remains in the hospital while Miracle was able to go home because she recovered faster. If the family wants to bring Journee home, they have to pay for two more at-home nurses.

Both are without a sternum meaning they need to be on a ventilator for the foreseeable future in order to breathe and are unable to eat on their own.

Single mother Jasmine Brooks has done everything to keep her twin girls alive, but the growing medical expenses have proven to be difficult.
