Miller Children's & Women's Hospital

At 11 months, Pablo was fighting for his life.

Today, he's got six candles on his cake.

Failing organs. Eight months in a coma. Fighting for every breath. At 11 months, this is what Leukemia brought Pablo. The one bright spot, he was at MemorialCare Miller Children's & Women's Hospital where a team of top doctors, nurses, and specialists helped save his life. For over a year in the PICU, our highly-trained staff never stopped caring for Pablo and his family. Caring is our calling.

Now at 6 years old, Pablo is in remission from cancer, and he can walk, breathe and eat independently. Pablo continues to meet with his multi-disciplinary care team at the Cherese Mari Laulhere Children’s Village. He sees gastroenterologists to confirm he’s eating well, while endocrinologists ensure he’s growing strong, hematologists continue to check his remissions status, and cardiologists and pulmonologists make sure his heart and lungs are healthy.

Even though Pablo has experienced more than many will ever experience in their lifetime, he remains happy and healthy while he runs, plays soccer, and learns his alphabet and numbers.

Support the well-being of children like Pablo through charitable donations.
