Thank Charity Spotlight.

Some of the most powerful organizations start with one family’s hardest season. Malachi’s House of Hope, right here in Brighton, was founded by CJ and April Nwabuike after their son Malachi was diagnosed with a rare, life-threatening heart condition.

Today, they wrap other families in the same support they once needed. Housing. Meals. Advocacy. Hope. We are proud to shine a light on them. 💙

UPDATE: We visited Mila today.
Yesterday, this sweet baby had to undergo emergency brain surgery.
Right now, her father is staying by her side at the hospital—holding on, advocating, and standing watch over his daughter every moment. At the same time, her mother is home caring for their three other children—including their oldest daughter, Mary, who is also living with Heterotaxy.
This is more than one medical moment. This is a family carrying so much at once.
The reality of the hospital, the medications, the unknowns—it is overwhelming in ways words can’t fully capture.
But even here… there is still something powerful:
💛 Love
💛 Strength
💛 And a family refusing to let go

Now, they need us.

🙏 Please continue to pray for Mila

🤝 Support this family however you can

📲 Share so others can stand with them

Because no family should have to walk through moments like this alone.

GIVE HOPE 💛

Please take a moment to read 💛
This is Mila— many of you met her dad Mohamad at our Heterotaxy Awareness Walk. Her family stood with us, shared their story, and helped raise awareness for Heterotaxy so no one else would feel alone walking this journey.
Now, they need us.
Last night, Mila experienced multiple seizures, and doctors have found a clot on her frontal lobe along with bleeding under the skull. She is also currently battling both rotavirus and norovirus at the same time.
This is an incredibly тяжел(heavy)and uncertain moment for their family—filled with questions and no clear answers yet.
Right now, the best thing we can do is surround them with support:

💛 Lift Mila up in prayer
💛 Show up for this family
💛 Give if you are able
💛 Share so others can help

This family has already poured so much into this community by helping raise awareness… now we come together for them.

Because no family deserves to face moments like this alone. GIVE HOPE 💛

From community to impact 💛

Today, we proudly presented a $10,000 donation to the University of Michigan Children’s Hospital Congenital Heart Center.

Because of the incredible support from our Heterotaxy Awareness Walk, this contribution will help support ongoing work focused on Heterotaxy—including research and efforts to improve outcomes for children like Malachi.

There is still so much unknown—but together, we are helping change that.

This is more than a donation.
This is the beginning of something bigger.

Because no family deserves to face their hardest days alone. GIVE HOPE 💛

💛 Wow… what an incredible day.
The Heterotaxy Awareness Walk was everything we hoped for — and more. To see our community come together, show up with love, and walk alongside families who need support the most… it was truly powerful.
From the laughter, to the connections, to every single step taken — today reminded us what community really looks like.
This is more than a walk. This is a movement.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, volunteered, donated, and believed in this mission. Because of you, families feel seen, supported, and never alone.
💛 We are so grateful. Every step mattered.
