This July, Mikey's Miracle Foundation, Inc. celebrates its 5th Anniversary of #GiveMoreOn24!

On July 24, 2016, we launched our very first online giving campaign, #GiveMoreOn24. We were just two months old, but with an eager heart to serve the most vulnerable families in Baltimore, we set out to raise funds in support of our mission. Not only did we meet our $2000 goal that year, but we exceeded it.

Here we are in 2020, navigating unprecedented times, and still standing by our mission to provide supportive resources to marginalized communities impacted by cancer. Immunocompromised patients and family caregivers need our support now more than ever.

Will you join us on July 24 as we celebrate the birthday of the inspiration behind our organization, Mikey. For our 5th anniversary, we seek to raise 10X our first year's goal, with our largest fundraising goal yet - $20,000.

#GiveMoreOn24 has always been an online giving experience of $24 or more through our giving platforms: Website, CASHApp, PayPal, and Venmo. To commemorate our 5th anniversary, we have created two additional opportunities to participate while social distancing for social good! Click the link in our bio to learn more!

On June 25, 2016, Mikey’s Miracle hosted its soft launch, #CurateforaCause. This first event was a private introduction for close friends and family members to learn about our plans to serve cancer patients and their family caregivers. Since the soft launch, we have served 80 cancer patients, ages 2-75, over 200 extended family members, and hosted numerous community outreach events. On today, June 25, 2020, we kick-off the 5th Anniversary of our annual giving campaign #GiveMoreOn24! Last year, we raised almost $12,000 in just 24 hours and this July 24th on Mikey’s birthday, we seek to celebrate her life and legacy by giving the gift of life to others impacted by cancer. To commemorate the 5th anniversary, we have set a goal of $20,000 in support of our 5 core programs: 1. Meal & Nutrition Planning
2. Caregiver Support
3. Appointment Transportation
4. Community Outreach & Education
5. Virtual Wellness Support. We know we can’t do this alone and over the course of the next few days, we will be rolling our creative ways for you to get involved because together we can make miracles happen. Learn more by visiting our website!

After seeing his own mother’s battle with cancer, @chefjmason donated his culinary support to make the day of one special mom currently in the fight against cancer for #MothersDay. We are so grateful for the generosity of Chef Joshua for helping us provide everyday miracles in the fight against cancer.

Happy Mother’s Day from #MikeysMiracle 💙. Each Sunday, volunteers deliver meals to the doorsteps of patients undergoing cancer treatment. This Sunday, we decided to do something special and provide all of the moms currently in the fight with a bouquet of flowers and a #caregiversbox for their caregiver. A special thank you to @esquiremeals for partnering with us each week for delicious and healthy meals and @sammyb_swaggy, one of our board members supporting deliveries this week. If you would like to donate to our weekly efforts, click the link in our bio. Continue to stay safe.

In this time of uncertainty, there's a fundamental truth that gives us hope - that together we can make miracles happen. #Mikey's Miracle is participating in #GivingTuesdayNow, a global day of unity and giving. 💙
Over the past four weeks, Mikey's Miracle, in partnership with Esquire Meals, has delivered almost 200 MEALS to our most vulnerable families in Baltimore.
💙
With an average cost of $10 PER MEAL, for the next eight weeks, we will work to continue to deliver meals to our most at-risk families. While we do not know how long this pandemic will last, we do know we cannot do this alone. To serve meals for the next two months with no-contact delivery service straight to our family's doors, we have set a FUNDRAISING GOAL OF $4000. 💙
Not only do we need your support, but we also need your help to spread the word. Please also consider other worthy local causes - @tap_foundation & @shaysharpespinkwishes ! Thank you for being a #MiracleMaker!

Social distancing and still serving meals. For the past 4 weeks, #MikeysMiracle in partnership with @esquiremeals has been delivering meals to our most vulnerable families right here in Baltimore.
Per the @cdcgov, severe health conditions, including cancer, are at a higher risk of developing severe complications from COVID-19. Under the current stay-in-place mandate by @govlarryhogan , these individuals are unable to leave home even for essential items, including food. Because they can’t get out, we do it for them! Support us on 05/05/20 for #GivingTuesday @givingtuesday and help us continue delivering meals to families in the fight against cancer!

Tomorrow, @govlarryhogan will introduce his plan f

Tomorrow, @govlarryhogan will introduce his plan for reopening Maryland. While the details are unknown, Mikey's Miracle recognizes that for individuals who are immunocompromised, such as cancer patients, the reality of venturing out into social spaces will not happen anytime soon. 💙
Per the CDC, severe health conditions, including cancer, are at a higher risk of developing severe complications from COVID-19. Under the stay-in-place mandate, these individuals were unable to leave home even for essential items, including food. 💙
In light of the need for cancer patients to self-isolate and reduce social contact, MMF has again partnered with @esquiremeals to deliver health-conscious meals right to their doorsteps. This coming weekend, we will have served almost 100 meals, and we believe more requests are to come. 💙
We do not know how long this will last, but do know we cant this alone. Will you support us in our efforts to provide meals to our most vulnerable families? You may support on any of our giving platforms.

Stay safe, healthy, and please share our cause 💙

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week! @mikeysmiracle

It’s Volunteer Appreciation Week! @mikeysmiraclefoundation would like to thank all of our #volunteers for so generously sharing your time and talent to help us provide everyday miracles to families in the fight against cancer! Each day this week, we will highlight our volunteers working in various capacities throughout our organization. These beautiful ladies served as hosts and beauty service providers at our annual #ABeautifulCause event.

#MikeysMiracle responds to COVID-19.🔹Over the last few months, Mikey's Miracle has been working quietly and diligently, redesigning existing programs and developing new strategies to serve our patients and family caregivers better. During these uncertain times, we wanted to connect with our followers to offer prayers for your health and safety and to also inform you of the work Mikey's Miracle is doing in the face of this unimaginable crisis. 🔹
Per the CDC, severe chronic health conditions, including cancer, are at higher risk of developing more severe complications from contagious illnesses such as COVID-19. While many states are under stay at home orders, we recognize that for immunocompromised cancer patients, they are not even able to go to the grocery store, which is deemed permissible under this mandate.
🔹
In light of the need for cancer patients to self-isolate and reduce contact from individuals outside of the home, we have chosen to expand our existing meal offerings and created an emergency response meal service with our current meal prep partner, @esquiremeals . Through this emergency service, patients and families will have on-demand access to healthy and delicious meals delivered right to their doorstep without having to leave home. 🔹
As we do not know how long this pandemic will last, we do know that we can not do this alone. If you can support us in our efforts to deliver meals to some of the most vulnerable families, you may donate on our website, cash app $mikeysmiracle or Venmo @mikeys-Miracle

If you've been following us for a while, you know that every year we celebrate the inspiration behind our organization, Mikey, with an online giving campaign on her birthdate, July 24th!
#GiveMoreOn24 is a 24-hour online giving campaign fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Beginning right now, 12:01 am July 24th, and running until 11:59 pm, we seek to harness the collective power of ambassadors and supporters to raise funds and awareness.

This year, we have set a fundraising goal of $10,000 in support of our meal prep and transportation services with a particular focus on caregivers. Cancer doesn't just affect the patient. Its effects also extend to friends, family members, and caregivers who are often referred to as secondary patients as they too experience physical, mental, and emotional challenges while caring for a loved one with cancer. Not only can you make a tax-deductible donation in support of our core services, but you can also support a cancer caregiver with our newest product, The Caregiver's Box!
Can we count on you this year? $10,000 is our biggest goal to date, and we need all of our supporters to join in! You can support by making a $24 donation or more, share with your networks or serve as an Ambassador.
