It's the most wonderful time of the year. Families

It's the most wonderful time of the year. Families come together to celebrate, and people worldwide prepare to say goodbye to the old year and toast to the new one. However, when battling cancer, the joy of the season can be stressful. While managing day-to-day activities can be difficult, it becomes increasingly challenging to enjoy amid the holiday hustle.

At Mikey's Miracle Foudation, Inc., we know that it isn't easy. For the last six years, we have worked to alleviate some of the stress of the holidays by providing free hot meals for patients and their families in the fight against cancer. We have also provided presents for children with parents undergoing treatment for the last three years.

This year is no different. Purchase a bulb on our virtual #MiracleTree or ADOPT A FAMILY. With seven amazing families, it is our goal to make this an unforgettable Christmas. You may click below to purchase a bulb from our virtual tree or adopt a family by clicking the link in bio!

A special thank you to Xquisite Catering, LLC (@xquisitecatering_by_feliciac) for serving as this year's Christmas meal caterer.
