Braxton’s Story
Braxton was born with physical limitations that included delayed sitting up, crawling and walking. While he was able to speed up these developmental milestones with the right medical devices and therapy, a bike was more fitting for his needs as he grew older. There are many physical benefits to riding the bike like strength and coordination, but most importantly receiving this type of equipment helps improve confidence and happiness which is a game-changer to the success of a child's development.
With insurance not being able to cover these costs, Mariah’s Miracle stepped in.
Now, Braxton can continue therapeutic exercises outside of his sessions, increasing his strength and overall health, which will only further advance his development progress. We're so excited for Braxton and his family, and can’t wait to see him only shine brighter and brighter through his journey!

Carter
Earlier this year, Carter needed a cranial helmet to help reshape her skull and treat torticollis, a condition that restricted her neck muscles to one side. Without treatment, the condition could have impacted her motor development and caused eye alignment issues that might affect her vision. Unfortunately, insurance denied coverage for the helmet. At just five months old, Carter’s family had only a few months to find a solution before her skull finished molding by her first birthday. Understanding the urgency, we were able to provide Carter with her cranial helmet almost immediately. Now, she’s receiving the treatment she needs to grow into the strong and kind girl we know she’ll become!

Elliana
Elianna is three years old and has been working diligently through occupational, speech and food therapy to meet her milestones. She’s doing incredible and recently had surgery to improve functionality in her arm. The procedure required supplemental physical therapy sessions in addition to her current treatment. Unfortunately, following Elianna turning three, her family was notified that their private insurance plan was no longer able to cover these sessions.
After learning about Elianna, her incredible journey, and the therapy needed for a successful recovery, Mariah stepped in immediately to help support her and family. Elianna is now receiving the comprehensive treatment she needs without the financial burdens that come along with that
