Miracle Kids

Quinn was unexpectedly born with an ultra-rare genetic disorder called Costello Syndrome, diagnosed in only about 1,200 people worldwide. From day one, she’s faced challenges like developmental delays, feeding difficulties, heart complications, seizures, and more. But through it all, Quinn is pure joy. Her smile lights up every room and reminds us all of the power of hope and resilience. Her mom, Carsyn, shares: “Children’s Miracle Network has personally touched our family both financially and emotionally. Rare diseases are incredibly hard, and the financial burden is unreal. CMN has helped with medical bills and given us the gift of fellowship through a community of people with similar experiences.”

Reece was born a bit early and spent some time in the NICU. After going home, his family expected life to return to normal, but instead faced ongoing health issues that required numerous specialist visits and surgeries. Medical bills quickly piled up, creating major financial stress.

A NICU nurse told Reece’s family about Children’s Miracle Network (CMN), and after applying, they were relieved to learn they qualified for help. CMN and its partner HOPE provided financial assistance for medical bills and travel expenses for Reece’s many appointments.

Though Reece’s health challenges continue, CMN’s support has been life-changing—offering not only financial relief but also compassion and understanding. Because of CMN, Reece’s family can focus more on their boys and less on the overwhelming burden of medical costs. They remain deeply grateful for the ongoing support and kindness that CMN has provided throughout their journey.

On November 11, 2023, Brian’s family received news that would change their lives forever—a tumor was discovered, and just one day later, he underwent surgery to remove his T3 vertebra and place rods and pins from T2–T5. Soon after, Brian was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.

From December 2023 through October 2024, Brian bravely endured chemotherapy with his mom, Holly, by his side every step of the way. His journey was not easy, but together with his family, Brian fought with strength and determination. On February 4, 2025, Brian rang the bell—officially in remission!

Through this difficult battle, Children’s Miracle Network was there to help Brian’s family by covering hospital bills and paying for vital medications during treatment. While challenges remain, the weight is lighter thanks to your generosity.

Brian’s story is a reminder of why we do what we do—because every dollar stays local and helps kids like Brian find hope and healing.
