ABOUT US
Mighty Mia was a force of nature. She came into this world and changed all of those she met.
Abandoned in the NICU at 2 days old. She was born with only half a heart and was in desperate need of a heart transplant. OKDHS was unable to find a family willing and able to take her. Lisa Davis was throwing a graduation party for youth in foster care and learned of the baby who had been moved to a long term medical facility to pass away. UNOS, the Organ Donation Board, denied the child to be listed because there was no caregiver to be vetted. Immediately Lisa went home and spoke with her family about bringing the child to their home to pass away in a loving environment, but God had other plans. Long story short, Lisa lived in St. Louis with Mighty Mia until receiving her precious gift of a new heart at only 3 months old. The family adopted Mighty Mia and had 7 and a half blessed years with this special angel. Mighty Mia was diagnosed with Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disease, a form of Lymphoma specific to Transplanted children. She passed away on August 17th, 2017 and this world is less than because of losing her.
Mia's great love for others and the many challenges she faced inspired her family to continue to celebrate her life after her time here was over. The family celebrates Mighty Mia's birthday, April 15th, each year and fundraises to benefit efforts of those who lift up foster care, adoption, organ donation, cancer fighting, special needs, medically fragile and all those that care for them.
