Philanthropy helps make miracles happen
Meet Geisinger’s 2024 Miracle Kids
Peter Swistock, 2024 Local Champion, Port Matilda
After a shocking brain bleed, Peter was rushed to Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, where the 13-year-old underwent surgery and a challenging recovery. Philanthropy provided special physical therapy equipment and a bed that allowed his parents to stay with him through fevers, therapy and recovery.
Elisabeth Lanning, Mehoopany
Complications during Elisabeth’s premature birth required her to be airlifted to Geisinger Janet Weis Children’s Hospital via Life Flight®. Her medical team stabilized Elisabeth’s condition using cooling therapy, a procedure made possible through donations to Children’s Miracle Network.
Amelia “Mia” Jankowski, Bloomsburg
When pregnancy complications decreased Mia’s oxygen supply in utero, doctors had to perform an emergency C-section and immediate intubation and oxygen therapy. She recovered miraculously, aided by highly specialized equipment and expertise that was directly supported through philanthropy.
Mason Ostrich, Brodheadsville
Despite multiple health challenges since birth, Mason has defied expectations and zoomed past his predicted lifespan of just five years to become a fearless, ambitious 16-year-old with big dreams. His complex medical journey requires multiple specialties that are supported by philanthropy.
Aubrey Scott, Danville
Aubrey’s journey with spinal muscle atrophy underscores the lifesaving, life-changing impact of donor support. Philanthropy has enabled advancements in gene therapy and treatment that gives children like Aubrey the vital resources they need to thrive.
Luca Eddy, Wilkes-Barre
A birth defect in his airway caused Luca to have respiratory failure and a critical loss of oxygen at just two years old. He spent months in the hospital until he could finally breathe on his own. Philanthropy supported the medical expertise and equipment that saved his life and, against all odds, prevented developmental delays and brain damage.
