The Mikulich family’s world changed forever when their beautiful newborn son, Porter, was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)—a rare and life-threatening genetic condition that affects muscle strength and movement. At just a few weeks old, sweet Porter has already shown incredible resilience and strength, but the journey ahead is one filled with uncertainty, medical treatments, and difficult decisions. SMA affects the nerves that control muscles, and without timely intervention, it can severely impact a child’s ability to move, eat, and even breathe. Porter’s diagnosis has brought a whirlwind of emotion for his parents, who are now navigating a maze of doctor visits, genetic counseling, treatment plans, and overwhelming medical costs. Despite it all, the Mikulich family remains hopeful, grounded in their love for Porter and their determination to give him the best possible chance at life. This page is a space to rally around the Mikulich family, share updates on Porter’s progress, raise awareness about SMA, and offer support—emotional, financial, and spiritual—as they begin this unexpected journey. Whether you’re here to learn more, send a message of hope, donate, or simply hold this family in your heart, your presence makes a difference. Together, we can help Porter get the care he needs and show the Mikulichs they are not alone.
