Irma sat down with Marisela Morales who spend her 10th birthday in a hospital, recovering from several cardiac arrests and a metabolic crisis which caused her body to completely shut down!
Marisela suffers from a metabolic condition called LCHAD. Her body is unable to break down fatty foods and turn it into energy. When a heart condition surfaced at age 9 - Marisela found herself in the hospital for 89 days!
Her family never gave up. It was the touch of her sister that brought her back, and subsequently, every family members touch that brought her strength to open her eyes.
After years of recovery, she is a thriving young girl working on her purpose - Marisela's Miracle Foundation.
She has created birthday boxes for kids who are in hospitals around Southern California - bringing joy to kids of all ages who are unfortunately spending a birthday in a hospital, and to remind them that Miracles Do Happen.
Grab some Kleenex for this one!

This week Sarah & Irma talk to Rich Harper who has created Victory Softball, a safe and encouraging softball team for girls with special needs between the ages of 6-16 who might never have the opportunity before to get out on the field.
The retired Baldwin Park Police officer is also a father, business-owner and has coached for Glendora for more than 20 years. Listen to Rich explain how he came up with the idea and how his passion for kids, the game and the community is leading him on this journey with a purpose.
Through the Glendora Lassie League, Victory Softball will show girls the basics and get them playing during the regular season with other Lassie teams. A chance to understand the game, get out on the field, smell the grass and feel the sun on their happy faces.
Each Victory Player will be mentored with a Victory Sister, an established 12, 13, 14 yr old player who will mentor these girls on and off the field.
However - VICTORY SOFTBALL needs your help.
The goal is for these Victory Girls (and families) to have zero out of pocket expenses. They want to make sure there are no (more) barriers to stop a girl from playing softball.
Expenses include - registration, uniform and equiptment.
Here are ways to help...
