One Mighty Mission. Every Brave Heart.

Lurie Children's Hospital

For more than a year, Mack has spent most of his days at Lurie Children's — a place where superheroes wear scrubs, where every hallway has a story worth telling, and where a family in the hardest stretch of their life is never left to face it alone.

The cardiac team at Lurie's has become Mack's extended family. The nurses know exactly how he likes to be rocked to sleep. The child life specialists know which lullabies calm him during an echocardiogram. The doctors know that no medical chart can capture how big this little kid's heart really is.

We've lived what these families live. We know what it's like to sleep in a chair, to leave the house in a rush and realize three days later you never packed a toothbrush, to watch the ordinary parts of life pile up while you're somewhere else entirely. The small things fall apart fast — and they're the things nobody has the energy to think about.

That's where we come in.

The Mighty Mack Foundation exists to lift some of that weight. When we learn of a family in the middle of it, we do what we can — taking care of a few of the necessities and small comforts that make a hard stretch a little easier to carry, so a parent can put all of their energy where it belongs: on their little warrior.

We're just getting started. But every dollar raised goes toward reaching one more family, one more hospital hallway, one more heart warrior who needs to know someone out there is in their corner.

Know a family who could use us? Tell us about them. info@themightymackfoundation.org
