Marisa So Strong

Donation protected
Can you imagine?

Marisa Merliss and Michael Minarik are going through the hardest season of their lives. On June 13th, after a healthy full term pregnancy they discovered in the delivery room that their beautiful baby girl no longer had a heart beat. Two week later a large mass appeared on Marisa's upper thigh and 4 weeks to the day from their daughter's passing, Marisa was diagnosed with a Synovial Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer.
Michael and Marisa are two of the most loving, vibrant, joy filled humans around and they have a long road ahead of them. Your donations will go directly to support Marisa's treatments which will include chemo, surgery, possibly radiation and whatever other alternative treatments that will help her back to full health. There are going to be a lot of medical costs, fertility costs (this was their first child and they still hope to build a family), additional medications and treatments that insurance won't cover, and Marisa won't be able to work for a while. With your help, she can concentrate on her strength, health and general badassery. ;)



Please join us in lifting them up in your prayers and donating to help them on their journey.
