Love Made in the Miles

Some miracles aren’t loud.

They don’t arrive with cheering crowds or flashing lights. They arrive quietly in the form of time. In the form of presence. In the form of love that refuses to leave, even when the road between home and hospital stretches long.

Eleven-year-old India was the kind of child who made people lean in a little closer. A daughter. A sister. A light in her family’s world.

But over the past several months, that world shifted.

India’s severe aplastic anemia (blood disorder) evolved into acute monocytic leukemia, and suddenly, hospital rooms replaced classrooms. Machines hummed where laughter once filled the air. Her parents, a fiercely devoted mom who navigates life without sight, and a dad who drove hours across state lines again and again, did everything they could to be by her side.

Because when everything feels uncertain, love makes the miles feel smaller.

Still, reality pressed in. Rent didn’t pause. Car payments didn’t disappear. And the vehicle her father depended on to make those long drives began to fail, forcing him to rent cars just to reach his daughter’s bedside.

Her parents weren’t thinking about bills. They were thinking about moments.

Thanks to you, Jane’s Fund stepped in to carry the weight they shouldn’t have had to bear alone. Because of your generosity, Jane’s Fund was able to:

• Pay off the family’s car so India’s dad could make every mile to her bedside without worry
• Cover three months of rent so her mom could focus on being present, not payments
• Support India’s funeral, ensuring her family could honor her life with dignity and love

In total, you provided over $27,000 in support, but what you truly gave was something far greater. You gave her parents the freedom to be there.

To hold her hand.
To whisper “I love you.”
To be together, not separated by circumstance, but united by love.

India has since passed, but the miracle you gave her family lives on. Because when time was the most precious thing they had left, you helped give it back to them.

Your support ensures that when another family faces the unimaginable, we can step in immediately and give them what matters most: time together.
