Families We’ve Helped
Here are just a few stories from families in crisis who were lifted up by Miracles for Kids.
Michelle was born with Cystic Fibrosis. Today, at almost 3 years old, she uses a ventilator and receives regular occupational therapy. Despite her immense physical challenges, she is a calm, talkative, and smart little girl. Mom looks forward to enrolling her in preschool so she can build her social skills around children her age. As a single parent, Mom maintains a full-time job but has difficulty making ends meet. She is extremely grateful for the Miracles for Kids Lifeline Program that helps with her car payment, securing transportation to and from medical visits, treatment appointments, emergency visits, and work.
Kiara was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, a rare congenital heart defect. It was devastating for mom and dad. Within the first year of her life, Kiara underwent two heart surgeries. Since then, she has undergone two more, along with multiple surgical procedures for heart catheterization and her GI tube placement. It has been a long and harrowing journey for Kiara and her family. They are thankful for the support from Miracles for Kids who understands the struggles they face with a critically-ill child and is there to help.
Oziel started having pain in his wrists and ankles, but doctors couldn’t find anything wrong. When he started bruising easily, mom took him back and he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Oziel is on the autism spectrum, so it was hard for him to understand the severity of the situation. It has been a financial struggle for the family, as they began to fall behind in their bills. When they connected with Miracles for Kids, mom felt relieved and was able to focus on Oziel’s care without worrying about losing their home.
