Mia Hites C-Brace fund

On December 11th 2014 our oldest child’s life was changed forever. Our 10 year old daughter Mia had been sick with the flu and was getting worse. We rushed her to the emergency room and minutes later she went into cardiac arrest. After 4 minutes they successfully got her heart beating again. Later, after being transferred to Children’s Hospital she was diagnosed with Addison’s disease, a rare life threatening condition. The cardiac arrest was very traumatic to her little body. She had heart damage which resulted in heart failure. Brain swelling and spinal cord damage caused her to have paralysis of her lower limbs. She now has to depend on a wheelchair because she is unable to walk. We need your help to fund customized leg braces because they are $150,000 ($75,000 per leg) but will allow her the ability to walk again. These new computerized leg braces (C-braces) use new technology that became available in 2013. She will get back to a normal walking pattern, be able to change speeds while walking, go up and down stairs and be able to put weight on her flexed knee when she sits down. Mia has always been a very active child and with your gift she will once again be able to stand up and join in the fun instead of sitting and watching while other kids play. It will dramatically change her life and be a true miracle!
Thank you so much for your support
