Starting and running a business is not for the weak. I’m beyond appreciative of my husband, dad, sponsors, close friends and amazing staff for believing in me and their support.

I’m also thankful for those who show up and purchase from our cafe, just to show support, it does make an impact. Yes, we have a cafe that serves specialty drinks and food options 🙂

💕 Welcome to Mae’s Miracle. 💕

If you’re new here, we’re so glad you found us.

This page was created for one very special little girl — our sweet Mae — and for the journey our family is now walking alongside her and her parents.

Recently, Mae was diagnosed with a rare and devastating mitochondrial disease. It is a diagnosis no parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or family ever expects to hear. There are no easy words for it, and there is no way to adequately explain what it feels like to watch people you love walk through something so incredibly unfair.

But this page isn’t only about a diagnosis.

It’s about Mae.
It’s about her beautiful life, her personality, her family, and all of the people who love her fiercely. It’s about the hope we are holding onto, the miracles we are praying for, and the memories we are determined to make along the way.

Over the coming days, we’ll share more of Mae’s story — what her diagnosis means, what her family is facing, and how you can come alongside them.

Some days will be hard. Some will be hopeful. Some may simply be a picture of Mae being Mae. ❤️

If you’re here, thank you. Thank you for caring about a little girl you may have never met. Thank you for following her story. Thank you for praying, sharing, encouraging, and helping us surround Mae and her family with as much love as possible.

We believe in miracles. And we believe Mae is worth fighting for.

Welcome to Mae’s Miracle. 💗
