Treated at Tucson Medical Center for Children in Tucson, AZ.

In 2017, Brielle was born with a condition called Amniotic Band Syndrome, which affected all of her extremities. The surgeons at Tucson Medical Center for Children helped correct some of her limb differences during her first year of life, which has helped her meet some key milestones. During the pandemic, she suffered from Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)-19 and was hospitalized for a week. During that time, she received treatment to help her overcome this rare and unfamiliar illness, which is known to be life-threatening. Today, she’s six years old, and excelling in school. She recently received the Stars of Honor Award.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, patients like Brielle can access customized care that best suits their needs.

Treated at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, IN.

Cassidy has a rare immunodeficiency and has been treated at Riley Hospital for Children since she was five months old. When Cassidy was six months old, she became very ill with croup. Within a matter of minutes of being triaged in the Riley Emergency Department, she stopped breathing on her own and was intubated and sedated for several days while doctors began to research a diagnosis and treatment plan. After several days, she was intubated. Her family says they were thankful for a diagnosis of croup at the time, this began our long journey of discovering the impact that a minor respiratory illness could have on Cassidy. After several years, her family discovered that she has a rare immunodeficiency with cold induced urticaria. Cassidy is now in kindergarten and thanks to a wonderful care team, she has avoided inpatient treatment since her hospital visit four years ago.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Cassidy has received lifelong support for her rare immunodeficiency condition.

Treated at Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore, MD.

Before Emerson (Emme) was born at 25 weeks, she and her twin sister, Elle, were given a 10-15% chance of survival. At Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, Emme had her first brain surgery at 21 days old. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy, and she recently underwent seven brain surgeries including a right lobe hemispherectomy to help with seizures and motor function. Despite her long, tough journey, Emme continues to conquer every challenge that comes her way. She has found comfort in the music therapy program, where loves singing the Beluga song with her music therapist.

Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fund the music therapy program that offers Emme comfort throughout her medical journey.

Elle was born prematurely at 25 weeks gestation, with a brain bleed that caused hydrocephalus, a neurological disorder caused by an abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the cavities of her brain. Elle and her twin sister, Emme, were both given a 10-15% chance of survival. Elle spent 106 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with her sister. Elle benefited from the power of play by working closely with Child Life specialists and she loved the special NICU teddy bears, the mobiles, and the play pads. Today, Elle loves dancing, playing, and being her sister Emme’s number one supporter.

Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals supported Elle and her family by generously covering the treatment not covered by insurance.
