For the last 8 years, a little boy named Ian has been fighting an aggressive form of bone cancer.

Cancer has already taken so much from him.
Ian has lost one of his legs. His body has endured years of pain, treatments, fear, and uncertainty. But what makes his story even more heartbreaking is that ever since Ian was diagnosed, his family lost everything.

For the last 7 years, Ian and his dad have been homeless — sleeping in their car, trying to survive while fighting for Ian’s life.
No child battling cancer should have to sleep in a car.
No father should have to choose between food, shelter, transportation, and life-saving medical care for his son.

Today, Ian’s situation has become extremely urgent. His cancer is spreading fast, and he now needs emergency surgeries on his lungs and left leg to try to save his life — and potentially save his remaining leg.
Without this surgery, Ian may lose his other leg. Even more devastating, his life could be at risk.

The first priority of this fundraiser is to help pay for Ian’s emergency medical care and surgeries. These procedures could give him a fighting chance to survive, protect his leg, and continue battling this disease.
But we also want to help Ian beyond the operating room.

After years of sleeping in a car, Ian deserves something every child should have: a real home, a safe place to heal, and a real bed to sleep in.
If enough support is raised, donations will help provide Ian and his dad with:

Emergency surgeries and medical care
A safe home and stable place to live
A real bed for Ian to sleep in
Food and basic necessities
Reliable transportation for hospital visits
Long-term support as Ian continues his fight

Ian has spent most of his childhood fighting cancer while living in extreme poverty. He has faced more pain than most people experience in a lifetime, yet he is still here. Still fighting. Still holding on.
This is our chance to show Ian that he is not alone.

Your donation — big or small — can help give Ian the emergency care he needs, a safe place to recover, and hope for a future he deserves.
Please donate, share, and help us fight for Ian’s life.

Together, we can help save Ian’s life, protect his leg, and give him and his dad the dignity, stability, and home they have been praying for.

Please join me in making a lasting impact. Your support means the world, and together, we can help bring miracles to humanity!

Miracles for Humanity Foundation – Campaign Disclosure

How Your Gift Helps: Miracles for Humanity Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) public charity. All donations are voluntary and subject to standard third-party transaction and processing fees. A portion of all campaign donations supports the essential programmatic, fundraising, and administrative work required to make these life-changing efforts possible. Crucially, these funds secure the logistical planning and field deployments required to safely enter high-risk, poverty-driven communities to find these children (or adults), as well as the exhaustive behind-the-scenes work—including identifying and vetting families in need, communicating with medical providers, family outreach, case management, endless coordination calls, and strict regulatory and receipt tracking—needed to bring their stories to light. These resources are essential to our ability to find families who may otherwise go unseen, personally understand their needs, bring their stories to a wider community, raise awareness and support, and ultimately provide meaningful assistance that can change their lives. To sustain these vital operations, resources also cover storytelling and content production, legal compliance, ongoing program expenses, and the necessary compensation and salaries of the dedicated personnel who manage these cases. All featured family stories, medical details, and media are shared with explicit, documented parental or guardian consent.

Campaign Flexibility, Surplus Funds, & Governance: Campaign funds primarily support the featured family. However, to comply with IRS regulations, Miracles for Humanity Foundation retains ultimate discretion, control, and final authority over the administration and allocation of all contributed funds; as such, donations are final and non-refundable. These resources may also help support other children and families battling cancer through the Foundation’s ongoing charitable programs, including immediate relief grants and other forms of assistance. If the featured family’s needs are fully met, exceed expectations, change, or cannot be funded as originally anticipated, remaining or surplus funds will be utilized for other Foundation programs and charitable purposes entirely consistent with the Foundation’s mission. Donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law, though the Foundation provides no guarantee regarding specific medical treatments or health outcomes.

Fund Administration & Assistance Delivery: The Foundation administers campaign funds and determines the amount, timing, and form of assistance based on verified needs and available funding, consistent with the charitable purposes described here, applicable donor restrictions, and existing grant commitments. Assistance may be provided in stages, through direct payments to approved healthcare or utility providers, or through goods and services rather than entirely as cash payments to the family.
