Diagnosis: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Minnesota Miracle and Mortgage Assistance Recipient
We can’t possibly use words to thank you for the incredible Minnesota Miracle weekend. Boy did we feel special, and we had so much fun. It was definitely one of the best weekends we’ve had as a family, and it gave us a sense of normalcy. In addition, your mortgage assistance came at a crucial time for us. We were so low on funds and the additional doctor bills and money needed to adjust our home life was quite overwhelming. We are so thankful for the generosity of The Miracles of Mitch Foundation when our family was in such need! We are honored to be a part of The Miracles of Mitch Family.
