Support Ava Mignano’s Journey to Healing

On behalf of Cloie and Nick Mignano, we are reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to ask for your prayers and support for our beloved, Ava Mignano, as she begins a long and courageous journey of recovery.

On October 1st, Ava was in a very bad accident. One that has forever changed hers and our family’s life. Out of respect for her and her immediate family, we won’t share the details of her injuries, but we can say this: it is nothing short of a miracle that Ava is still with us today.

Ava recently turned 16. She is a bright, beautiful soul who loves singing, music, scary movies, drawing, and playing with her younger sisters, Aria and Willow. She wears her heart on her sleeve and touches the lives of everyone she meets.

Ava’s journey will include extensive mental and physical recovery, both in the hospital and long after she returns home. She will need continued therapy, medical care, and emotional support for months and possibly years ahead.

We are humbly asking for donations to help ease the financial burden on the Mignano family as they navigate this unimaginable time. Your contributions will go toward Ava’s medical bills, rehabilitation, and ongoing mental health care.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible team at Akron Children’s Hospital. Also, the support of the Field and Waterloo communities and every person who has called, written, prayed, and shown love. Your support means the world.

We plead, please be kind, you never know how your words or actions can impact someone’s life, especially those struggling with mental health. If you or your loved ones are experiencing a mental health crisis, you can call, text, or chat the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to reach a trained specialist who can offer help and support.

Please consider donating, sharing this campaign, and most of all — keeping Ava and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

With love and gratitude,

The Mignano Family
