Her 13-year-old daughter, Chloe, has to watch her at all times and Griffith feels that this condition has "stolen" Chloe's childhood. Kate become overwhelmed with emotion while hearing this story, holding back the tears as she listened carefully to Griffith's tale.

With a one-year-old son and another soon on the way, Kate has made the aide of struggling families and children part of her platform. She has visited a number of facilities over the last few weeks, speaking with parents and chatting with the kids one-on-one.

Kate is expected to give birth to her second child in April.
