About us

Miracles for Kids is one of the only organizations on the West Coast providing monthly financial assistance and subsidized housing to families who are fighting for their child’s life. A recent Harvard study concluded that the number one reason people go bankrupt is medical bills, even though 72% of families filing for bankruptcy had major medical insurance. Miracles for Kids helps critically-ill children and their families stay strong and together, by keeping the lights on and a roof over their heads. Based in Southern California, the organization was founded in 2002 and continues to expand its reach by serving children receiving treatment at four leading hospitals: CHOC Children’s in Orange, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA and Benioff Children’s Hospital in the Bay Area. In addition to paying bills and housing families at Miracle Manor - which is located less than a mile from CHOC - the organization provides crisis counseling, medical care and a variety of other supports to ensure that families have their basic needs met during the most emotionally excruciating time in their lives.

This prestigious event honors five exceptional women who have made significant contributions to business and the community. Over the last 20+ years, Autumn’s leadership has built Miracles for Kids into a beacon of hope for families with critically-ill children. Her dedication has inspired a loyal community of board members, donors, sponsors, and corporate partners, raising over $50 million to date in support of those in need. In a region with over 5,000 nonprofit organizations, over the past 2 decades Autumn has distinguished Miracles for Kids by designing a unique, resilient business model that has weathered nearly two decades of economic and global challenges.

    ✨ The Miracles for Kids’ 20th Anniversary ‘2024 Night of Miracles’ Gala Raised Over $3.25M Celebrating Two Decades of Stabilizing Lives ✨THANKS TO YOU! We are overjoyed to announce that the 2024 Night of Miracles Gala raised over $3.25 million in support of families with critically-ill children! The magical evening, held at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort, marked 20 years of Miracles for Kids and featured an unforgettable performance by the legendary Babyface. This incredible success wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our amazing sponsors and business partners who stepped up to help us reach new heights. A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Xponential, as well as our Lead Sponsors: As One Cru, Javier’s Tequila, The Leeson Group, Citizens Business Bank, and Tim Smith Real Estate Group, and Happy Jewelers, whose 20-carat diamond set raised $18,300 in ticket sales! Additionally, 38 corporate sponsors and underwriters played a crucial role in making the night a success. Together, we raised significant funds to help families facing bankruptcy, homelessness, hunger, and emotional strain as they fight for their child’s life. A heartfelt congratulations to Anthony Geisler and The Geisler Family, recipients of the 2024 Miracle Maker Award, and to Curtis Green, our 2024 Champion of Children Honoree—your unwavering dedication inspires us all!  Perhaps the most moving moment of the night was when the Hamlin family, whose son Joshua has been battling leukemia for seven years, was honored with a video tribute and a standing ovation by everyone in the room. Their journey of resilience and hope moved the audience, highlighting the real-life impact Miracles for Kids has on families in crisis. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s gala a night to remember. Your support ensures that we can continue our mission of providing stability for families when they need it most. Also, THIS JUST IN! Save the date for next year’s gala at the Waldorf Astoria in Dana Point, which will be held on 10/11/25!
