Children’s Miracle Network – Meet the Families: Courtney

Hardly a kid anymore, Courtney has been a mother since she was 16 years old.

Courtney found out that she was pregnant 15 weeks before her 16th birthday. Her Mom referenced the web and found the Teen Mom Program.

Since then, Courtney has graduated from high school and went on to receive her Associates from BPCC and a Bachelors of Science in Biology/Forensic Studies.

She is currently a Lab technician for Schlumberger.

As a Miracle Maker, your $12 a month will go to programs like the Teen Mom Program.

“Since 1983, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals has raised more than $5 billion—most of it $1 at a time—for 170 children’s hospitals across the United States and Canada, which, in turn, use the money where it’s needed the most. These donations have gone to support research and training, purchase equipment, and pay for uncompensated care, all to save and improve the lives of as many children as possible.

Our mission: We increase funds and awareness for local children’s hospitals.

Our vision: Together we save kids’ lives.

Right now there’s a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital working to save the lives of kids in your community. In fact, 62 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network Hospital for treatment every minute — that’s one child every second. Some are battling cancer. Some are suffering from a traumatic injury. Others require constant care because they were born too early, or with a genetic disease. Regardless of why the kids are there, Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals always have their doors open.”
