RE/MAX Month of Miracles: Isaiah’s Story.
Throughout August, we're celebrating RE/MAX Miracle Agents across North America who do year-round fundraising for local CMN Hospitals during the 5th annual Month of Miracles. Visit remax.com to find a Miracle Home or Miracle Agent in your community.
Miracle Agent Robert Struck from RE/MAX of Michigan has been committed to raising funds and awareness for CMN Hospitals since his son Isaiah suffered severe second- and third-degree burns on much of his body following a bonfire accident. Below, Struck shares what it means to his family to be connected both to RE/MAX and CMN Hospitals.
When I was asked to describe what Children's Miracle Network Hospitals means to us, I didn't know how I could do it in just two paragraphs. When Isaiah's accident happened, we had no warning and could not have prepared for the care he would need for recovery.
Our son suffered greatly, but in the midst of that suffering, donations from CMN Hospitals provided us a place to stay, a shower so that we were comfortable and could remain by Isaiah’s side throughout treatment and movies to keep Isaiah preoccupied — the only thing that seemed to help him through his pain. Through it all, we learned to accept unwavering compassion and generosity from our friends, family, coworkers, doctors and nurses.
After spending weeks at the hospital, unable to work, our RE/MAX office in Bay City held a fundraiser to help us with costs. To sum up how we feel about CMN Hospitals and our involvement as a business, I could hardly do justice with words. We do, however, know how CMN Hospitals changed our lives and helped us with the care of our son. To us, our involvement and the RE/MAX involvement with CMN Hospitals is not only necessary, but priceless to families out there just like us. When our storm hit, CMN Hospitals was the umbrella that helped us get back to sunshine and clear skies. Thank you, on behalf of the Struck family and all families who have received care and support from CMN Hospitals.
