Support Team Marin

Some of you may know local San Diegans, Marin and Mike Mejia, from Floaties Swim School where they swim with their daughter, Avalon. This January, they were expecting their second daughter. During the pregnancy, this amazing family's life was changed forever when Marin was diagnosed with advanced cancer.
November 2015
On November 25th, their baby girl Owen Eleanor Amelia Mychal Yaple Mejia (great story behind the name), was delivered two months early via C-section to avoid further delay in Marin's cancer treatment. She weighed 4lbs, 5oz and was 16 3/4 inches long. Owen is now home, healthy, and growing everyday! Marin was given a month to recover from surgery, followed by six weeks of chemotherapy and radiation.
February 2015
Marin recently finished her treatment and her road to recovery is going to be a long one. During this time, the family has needed to make space in their home for baby Owen. Having two growing daughters, Mike decided to take on the remodel of the home with the help of family and friends. Remodeling a new bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen is a giant task in itself and of course Mike's top priorities are caring for his wife during cancer treatment and his two young daughters.
Mike has served his community as a San Diego firefighter for close to twenty years, but now he needs your help. The Mejia Family has been through more than anyone can imagine and this is where Savvy Interiors and you can help make a difference! With your donations to offset medical costs and get Marin and her family back in their home, we're asking you to give back.
April 2015
Please have Marin in your thoughts and prayers. She could can use all the positive energy she can get. She recently finished her treatments, and the cancer responded well to the treatment. Unfortunately some of the cancer has spread to her lungs. She'll be going back into treatment very soon.
Baby Owen is doing great! Now 4 months old she's smiling and laughing. She's an absolute blessing for the Mejias.
We'll be hosting an event with Kid Ventures Saturday April 11, 2015 to help offset medical expenses and help them get back in their home, since the family has been displaced for the last 2 months.
