My Relationship With Miles—A memento

Miles was so much more than my nephew. I was blessed to be by his side through every hospital stay, spending each day loving him, supporting him, and cherishing every moment we had together. He holds a piece of my heart that will forever belong to him. Everything I do in his honor comes from the love I have for him, and I hope every day that I am making him proud.

This summer, I spent countless hours in my woodshop handcrafting hanging basket plant stands to raise money for the 3rd Annual Mighty Miles Toy Drive. Through this labor of love, I was able to raise $1,200, with 100% of the proceeds going directly toward purchasing toys for children spending time in the hospital.

I am honored to continue Miles’s legacy through the Mighty Miles Foundation, turning my love for him into something that brings comfort, joy, and smiles to other children and families facing difficult times. I plan to make and sell more next spring to continue supporting this special mission.
