Treated at Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York.

At the age of three, Mason started having prolonged fevers. During these extended periods, he would be lethargic, irritable, and barely able to eat. Even with the bruises on his skin, Mason’s primary physician told his parents that it was just a virus. A month later, his mom knew something wasn’t right so she took Mason to the emergency department of Cohen Children’s Medical Center. Shortly after he was admitted, Mason was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For three years, he underwent chemotherapy treatments and has also had long hospital stays due to infections or low white blood cell count. Today, Mason is in remission and celebrated it by ringing the bell. Mason loves life, baseball, and ice hockey.

Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fund life-saving treatments that help kids like Mason and their families cope during hospital stays.

Treated at Boston Children’s Hospital in Boston, MA.

The joy of Kennedy’s birth changed to fear when she stopped feeding and her oxygen levels dropped. After six weeks with no answers at a local hospital, Kennedy’s parents drove 90 minutes to Boston Children’s Hospital, where extensive testing revealed Kennedy had a rare condition where her weak trachea could collapse to block the airway, making it hard to breathe. Her doctor explained that Kennedy needed a tracheotomy to keep her airway stable. After 136 days at Boston Children’s, nine-month-old Kennedy was able to go home. The care team helped the family understand how to access benefits for children with complex medical needs, including the care of an at-home nurse. Six years later, Kennedy visits Boston Children’s for check-ups and is making great progress, working toward being able to walk on her own. Kennedy is a proud big sister and loves music and seeing her friends at school.

Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals supported Kennedy over her 136 days of care with Child Life Specialists, music therapy, and visits from therapy dogs.

Treated at Maria Fareri Children's Hospital in Hudson Valley, NY.

Camryn was diagnosed with Sickle Cell disease three weeks after birth. For most of her life, her disease had been managed. Four years ago, Camryn was diagnosed with Moyamoya disease (a narrowing of blood vessels in the brain). Her sickled blood cells would only complicate this condition. Camryn was in need of a stem cell transplant and her oldest sister, Skylar, was selected as her donor. Camryn was admitted to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital and Skylar’s stem cells were harvested and transplanted into Camryn. It was inspiring for her family to witness this life-saving exchange among sisters! Camryn was hospitalized for 88 days and she found solace in the extraordinary care, and encouragement she received before, during and after her transplant. Today Camryn is feeling great and is an incredible advocate for the care she received at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.

Thanks to donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Camryn received care and support as she underwent a stem cell transplant at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital.
