Winner: Mariana

Our first Miracle on PRAISE 106.5 is Mariana, featuring her sweet family of 5 who have been helping their youngest through her cancer journey.

Nominated by Eliane:

My friends Mariana & Kevin have gone through a lot of hardship and their journey is still not over. Their youngest daughter Lucia, (I believe she is 4 yrs old), was diagnosed with cancer a few months after she was born. Her treatment began during COVID, only 1 parent was allowed in the hospital with her through it all. She lost a leg during her battle with cancer but has been in remission for a couple of years now. In her most recent routine follow up scans for LI- Fraumeni they found a brain tumor. She had surgery 4 weeks ago and begins radiation this Monday. They have 2 older children as well (9 & 7) I personally know how difficult this journey is and how it affects the entire family, as my 9 yr old is currently in remission from cancer. The winter months and through the holidays were incredibly depressing and difficult to get through. Being with your child in the hospital and watching them endure chemo treatment causes you to become a shell of who you once were, witnessing your child's pain and suffering. It felt dark, hopeless and depressing much of the time but you have to mask that as a parent in order to be strong and present for your child, as well as for your other children. So, I'd like to nominate Mariana and her family for a magical Christmas this year. Perhaps some gift cards to go out to eat, fuel gift cards (they travel to Seattle children's for treatment), beautiful decorations, presents for their 3 children this Christmas. Or if their schedule allows it perhaps a vacation for the family? I would just love for them to receive an amazing blessing this year that brings them joy and good memories for their family during this uncertain and scary time. A small bright light that shines during this dark time makes a HUGE difference for families dealing with pediatric cancer.

Mariana will be receiving Christmas surprises to help them celebrate Christmas together, and beyond.

Merry Christmas, Mariana!

Many thanks to Walton Beverage for helping provide a thrill of hope this Christmas.
