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 Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters in Norfolk, VA.

At 11 years old, Sam’s parents noticed that something wasn’t quite right. The energetic, competitive tennis player said he felt tired all the time and was often cold, his appetite disappeared and he lost some weight. His pediatrician ordered bloodwork and a few hours later, called the family and asked them to bring Sam immediately to the emergency department at Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters (CHKD). Sam was diagnosed with T-cell leukemia and had a mass in his lungs, close to his heart. Sam was admitted to CHKD and immediately started treatment. A week later, his mass was barely visible. Although he was discharged, Sam returned to CHKD several more times over the next year for additional treatment. During his nine hospital stays, Sam realized how fortunate he was to have his mom and dad with him every step of the way. He decided that when his cancer treatment was over, he wanted to help other families by fundraising for CHKD. Two years after his initial trip to the emergency department, Sam was in remission and had raised more than $100,000 to help families with a child in the hospital. Today, Sam is back in school and focused on getting stronger. His family says they are incredibly thankful for Sam’s recovery, the staff at CHKD, and everyone who has donated to help CHKD patients and families.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Sam received quick, lifesaving treatment for his T-cell leukemia and is a strong, healthy 15-year-old.

Treated at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals in Oakland, CA.

Ripley was born with a congenital heart defect and spent the first week of his life in UCSF Benioff Children's Hospitals’ Intensive Care Nursery. A month later, he returned for open heart surgery to repair the defect, known as Tetralogy of Fallot, which reduces the heart’s ability to pump oxygenated blood to the body. He is part of a Cardiac MRI study at UCSF that is exploring the risks of brain injury in babies with congenital heart disease.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Ripley received access to critical care to correct his heart defect.
