Springfield, Mo. – The Children’s Miracle Network is calling on the Ozarks community to join Miracle Week, a week‑long fundraising effort running November 30 through December 6. All donations made during this period go directly to local children and families who need medical care, specialized equipment, and financial assistance.
How donations are used
Because the local Children’s Miracle Network office’s operating costs are covered by separate funding, 100% of every contribution benefits children right here in the Ozarks. Funds support programs such as the Family Care Fund, which helps families cover the extra expenses that arise when a child faces a serious medical challenge – from travel and medication costs to necessary equipment.
The Family Care Fund’s goal is simple: prevent families from having to choose between being present for a child’s treatment and meeting basic household needs. By easing financial pressure, the fund offers relief, reassurance, and a reminder that families are not navigating these hardships alone.
Ways to give
Donors can contribute in a variety of ways. Monetary gifts can be made by calling 417‑268‑3222, a line that remains open 24 hours a day from November 11 through December 8. Online donations are also accepted securely via the link provided in the original announcement.
In addition to cash, the Children’s Miracle Network welcomes charitable gifts of stocks, bonds, real estate, personal property, life‑insurance policies, certificates of deposit, retirement funds, and estate bequests. Every type of gift helps provide vital resources, medical care, and support for children throughout the Ozarks.
Local impact
All contributions are directed to St. Louis Children’s at CoxHealth, ensuring that local children receive the care, resources, and support they need to grow, heal, and thrive. The organization encourages Springfield residents to read stories about local children and families who have benefited from previous Miracle Week campaigns, highlighting the tangible difference each donation can make.
“Miracle Week is a special opportunity for our community to come together and make a real difference in the lives of our youngest neighbors,” said a spokesperson for the Children’s Miracle Network. “When we pool our generosity, we give families hope and the practical help they need during the most challenging times.”
Community members are urged to spread the word, share the donation link, and consider how they might contribute, whether through a phone call, an online gift, or a charitable asset. Together, Springfield can help ensure that no child in the Ozarks has to face medical hardship alone.
