Just a few months ago, two-year-old Brenli Sharp was not able to dance like she can now.

Brenli and her mother, Cadi Sharp, were coming home one night when she heard the rattle of a snake as she opened her front door.

She said her immediate thought was to get her daughter out of harm’s way but it was too late.

“She had been bitten twice. Once on her top of her right foot and once on her left toe,” Sharp said. “It was the worst thing in my life that has happened.”
