Livingston, New Jersey (WABC) – Kianda Wilchcombe was unable to attend her Montclair State University graduation ceremony on Tuesday as she gave birth to her second child two weeks earlier than expected. However, the maternity staff at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center ensured that she didn’t miss out on all the graduation festivities.
Despite being in the hospital, Wilchcome’s family, including her 1-year-old daughter and her newborn, Novi Lyn, were in attendance. The maternity staff organized a graduation celebration for Wilchcombe, bringing the celebration directly to her.
Wilchcome graduated from Montclair State University with a degree in biochemistry, and the maternity staff made sure that she received the recognition she deserved for her hard work and dedication. The celebration was a reminder that even during difficult times, there is always something to celebrate.
