Michelle Barone's One Promise That Saved Her Baby Girls' Life Against Cancer

Today, you are in for a miraculous story that Michelle Baron graciously shares regarding her baby girl, Christa, who was fighting against cancer at 3 years old in 1999. Michelle and her husband's unwavering conviction that their baby girl would beat this deadly disease set the stage for miracles to happen.

Michelle takes us back to the perplexing symptoms that first alerted her to her daughter Christa's condition, the initial medical dismissals, and her relentless pursuit for answers. This story focuses on a mother's intuition and how far she went to save and protect her 3-year-old sunshine.

Michelle recounts the harrowing trials of uprooting their lives for Christa's critical stem cell transplant and the subsequent transformation of hospital walls into a sanctuary filled with hope and love, as a second home away from home. A fierce battle against the shadow of mortality, a journey laden with emotional strife, and the grit it takes to face each day with courage and faith as well as the presence of an angel who showed up as a priest to allow Michelle to release her strong anger at this moment and to make the most wonderful promise she ever made that saved her daughter's life.

With anticipation, we also pave the way for Christa's perspective in our next episode, reminding us of the incredible impact that shared stories have in spreading hope and inspiring others. Christa is now 28 years old, beautiful, happy, and thriving, and still living up to her mother's promise that changed their lives 25 years ago.
