"I'm sorry, but your baby had a stroke."

Those were the shocking and heartbreaking words we heard the day after our son, Mikey, was born. Those few words completely changed our lives and the dreams we had for our son.

What now?

After learning all we could about pediatric strokes and talking to doctors, therapists, and other families who faced the same unknowns. we understood that it would truly take "a village" to raise our son. He, like so many other children with life-altering conditions, we going to need help from many medical specialists and therapists, as well as intensive educational support. In 2006 Mikey's Place became a 501c3 charitable nonprofit and began providing information, resources and programs for families of children with disabilities.

Our array of programs reach an average of 500 families each year. We are most grateful to the Greater Houston community for your support which allows us to continue our service and to keep growing!
