Children are at the center of everything we do and building a strong foundation for their tomorrow needs to start today. Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals see what the future can be, and with support from you and DQ®, we can fund the most urgent needs at Wolfson Children’s Hospital and UF Health Jacksonville.

Patients like Nathaniel, who has suffered from severe hydrocephalus, stroke and possible heart conditions while in the womb. Nathaniel’s parents were told by several doctors that he would not have a life worth living. Thankfully one said they wouldn’t know until he was here, and the family took his advice. Born at 39 weeks, Nathaniel was the biggest baby in the NICU and went through multiple surgeries over the following years. Daily struggles included severe eating, colon sight, and speech issues. Nathaniel also had cerebral palsy, mitochondria syndrome and tick disorder. Even with his sight, speech and eating challenges, Nathaniel remains positive. CMN Hospitals has helped provide many wonderful resources to Nathaniel and his family that has helped make their daily lives easier to manage. Nathaniel is now 10 years old and loves LEGOs and traveling to see his family in Germany.

Your donations help Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals support the health of kids like Nathaniel.

Stop at a participating DQ® and give today so Wolfson Children’s Hospital and UF Health Jacksonville can continue helping our children lead healthy, fulfilling lives, while also bringing joy and happiness tomorrow.

When we change kids’ health, we change the future – for all of us.
