Why? On March 23, 2020, Kids Place lost our beloved pediatric physical therapist Mariah DeVries to cancer. Mariah's Miracle, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was created in Mariah's honor to further expand her life and legacy. Through events and fundraising, Mariah's Miracle establishes a fund to help pediatric therapy patients and their families offset the cost of therapy and equipment that insurance does not otherwise provide. We hope you will share in celebrating Mariah's legacy by joining us at Mariah's Miracle events and consider giving to families in need.
