"DONATIONS ARE CRUCIAL"
A Word From Our MMF Treasurer:
Tracey Light
OUR MOST HELPFUL DONATION
The needs of our medically fragile community are relentless. If one family wins the fight, there is another family in the wings waiting to get on our list. The most helpful donation is a recurring donation knowing our community is giving to their immediate needs no matter the time, situation or circumstance.

The MMF has been with Kaylianna since she was born. They brought a blessing bag and
dinner to us. Through the years, the foundation has provided Christmas, gas cards, and
tons of support in every way possible. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have
had them on this journey with Kaylianna and me.

Cole was diagnosed with sagittal craniosynostosis one
week after he was born. He had
surgery in October to correct this and wears a helmet 23
hours a day to help shape/
heal his head. He is such a happy baby now and loves
everyone he meets. MMF has
helped with temporary lodging, fuel, and meal expenses
in all our travels. We are so
thankful for MMFKids and his medical team.
Kevin & Lindsey M.
(Cole's Daddy & Mommy) - North Royalton, Oh
Cincinnati Children's Hospital
We have two daughters who have a very rare kidney and liver disease called ARPKD/CHF. MMF is an amazing organization that has provided us with that strength in so many ways. They have helped when we needed it the most. We saw their work in action when we had to stay downtown at the Cleveland Clinic and Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Our daughters have received gifts, snacks, and help from this foundation at both hospitals and Ronald McDonalds houses. We are so appreciative of their goodwill for medical families in need!

I hold Maryssa's Mission very close to my heart. The Rivas family and everyone at the foundation are truly genuine, and they have been there to bless my family when we
needed it the most. You provide much more than money when you support Maryssa's Mission Foundation. They genuinely care and make a difference for not only the medically fragile child but the entire family as well.
