Mayor Buddy Dyer has declared that Saturday, September 13, 2014, is The Gift of Life Day and every resident of Orlando and surrounding cities should attend this event in support of premature babies.

Message from Mayor Buddy Dyer:

On September 13, 2014 an exciting fundraiser will take place at the Rosen Centre Hotel. Inspired by Rosie Moore’s own story of the struggles families face who have premature babies, this event seeks to raise funds for equipment for supporting Florida Hospital for Children, The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Proceeds will also go towards the making of the movie, A Story of Faith, to be filmed in part in the hospital which will provide additional resources for families whose children are patients in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Rosie’s son Kaleb was born at 1lb 10 oz and 27 weeks at Florida Hospital for Children in Orlando. Rosie has written a book called A Story of Faith which the movie will be based upon.

The event is called The Gift of Life and will involve a sit down dinner and both a silent and live auction component. Purchase tickets at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-gift-of-life-tickets-11066816145 Entertainment and Dinner will be provided and the evening promises to be very exciting and enjoyable.

Spotlight On A Vendor …..Orlando Harpist Christine MacPhail

June 26, 2014 / Rosie's Nurse corner / Leave a comment

Today’s spotlight is on Christine MacPhail, Orlando Harpist. Christine began playing the harp at age 6 and has been playing professionally in the Central Florida area for over 25 years. She enjoys playing a variety of music of all styles, from classical to contemporary, and always loves learning new songs and adapting them to the harp. When 27 Miracles interviewed Christine and asked why she wanted to get involved with The Gift of Life,her reply was ” I am honored to be helping Rosie to benefit A Story of Faith and Florida Hospital. The story of her son Kaleb is inspirational and would touch anyone’s heart. Rosie and the 27 Miracles Team are continually giving back to the community and I am privileged to be included at her charitable events.” Christine and her harp bless many in the Central Florida area by playing at weddings, charity events and more…..Her music is very inspiring. When Baby Kaleb was born, Christine made a cd for him that to date he still listens to before bed. The music was soothing to him during those long nights of hearing an oxygen concentrator all day and night. He became so used to Christine’s music that when she played at Kaleb’s baby dedication, he immediately turned his head to Christine’s music.

Today’s Spotlight is on Roque Productions

June 8, 2014 / Rosie's Nurse corner / Leave a comment

27 Miracles wants to recognize Andres Roque of Roque Productions. Andres and his team are no strangers to working and giving back to the community. That is in fact how Rosie Moore of 27 Miracles met Andres. She was in need of vendors to work at the 27 Miracles Christmas Extravaganza in downtown Winter Garden. Rosie did not know Andres but they met at a Bridal Show. When Rosie emailed vendors for assistance in this event, Andres was the first to say, I will help. This event was to raise funds and honor the Brides Against Breast Cancer, Toys for Tots and the Boys and Girls Club of Winter Garden. With over 400 plus people attending the event, the night was a success on that cold December 2, 2010 weeknight.

After that Roque Productions has worked with 27 Miracles on various other community events, weddings and Quinces. 27 Miracles’ clients are always happy with the stellar work that they perform.

When we asked Andres why do you do what you do for the community, his reply “If you have the opportunity to get involved with The Gift of Life event, I really encourage you to do so. Over the past 4 years, we have worked with Rosie and the 27 Miracles team on numerous events for great causes. They truly have their community’s best interest at heart and their drive to help others is admirable. We are all called to help our neighbor and the events put together by 27 Miracles have become a great way for us to do so. “

Unsung Hero Gets Recognized

May 31, 2014 / Rosie's Nurse corner / Leave a comment

You might ask what is an unsung hero?

“An unsung hero is a role model whose generous acts of compassion, strength, selflessness, perseverance and, quite possibly, sacrifice make a profound and positive difference on the course of history.” Lowell Milken Center

The other day A Story of Faith and 27 Miracles brought you the story of Glenn Ferguson, a world-famous Caricaturist that is sponsoring The Gift of Life event on September 13 2014. If you missed his story, click on this link https://27miracles.com/2014/05/29/spotlight-on-glenn-ferguson-caricature-artist/

After the overwhelming response from readers that never knew he was a preemie and his dedication to this event, many became supporters of this very important fundraising event by purchasing tickets and becoming sponsors. You can visit our website www.astoryoffaith.com to obtain more details.

Today A Story of Faith and 27 Miracles want to bring you another story on one unsung hero. It is the daughter of Master Bridal Consultant Rosie Moore . After the initial shock that a teenager receives that mom is having a baby, that was the start of a whirlwind change in her young teen age life. Kayla was 14 yrs old when Kaleb was born at 27 weeks weighing only 1lb and 10 oz. A micropreemie born 13 weeks early. Life still had to go on for Kayla despite the fact that her baby brother was clinging to life in the NICU. Many days and nights of schedule changes, homework at the hospital, dinners out on the road and no family fun activities on the weekends due to trips to the hospital. But she quietly helped to be supportive, although never knowing what was really going on.

Life care coaches at the hospital brought Kayla in to see the baby for the very first time in November when he was a little more stable in the step down NICU. It was very shocking for a teen to see such a tiny baby all attached to wires and machines supporting his life. She was given the chance to hold him, but it was much to scary for her.

The weeks and months passed by and Kaleb was finally able to come home. Coming home, that is where more challenges came about. In March 2010, Kaleb came home to be on 18 different medication dosages, oxygen 24/7, apnea monitors at night, 2 types of breathing treatments every four hours, tube feedings every 3 hours, occupational, speech and physical therapists coming to the house daily, 2-3 drs appts every week. Wow life was definitely not normal here . Kayla started to see the care that was involved in taking care of Kaleb. Little by little she learned about his care and treatment.

In June 2010, Rosie, Marcus, Kayla and Baby Kaleb, planned a trip to visit Marcus’ family in NJ. Oh boy with all that Kaleb had going on, that sounds crazy. All the necessary permissions were obtained to carry equipment on the flight. Kaleb was weaned off the oxygen little by little so that he can sustain a 2 hour flight until he would be on the ground again to receive the oxygen. It was an interesting sight at the checkout counter with 8 carry on bags, 6 checked bags, stroller and car seat. For three people and a baby wow, but Kayla helped all the way through with taking care of him. She learned how to do his breathing treatments and how to do his tube feedings and administer his medications.

Today she is 19 years old and a college student at PBA studying Communications. She is today’s unsung hero as she turned 19 years old yesterday and we remember her today for stepping up to the plate and helping a difficult situation be an easier situation. Kayla helped to take care of Kaleb whenever her parents had to do a wedding or event or just needed some down time to rest or relax.

A Story of Faith Coming Soon To A Theater Near You

Today Our Miracle Kaleb Turns 4!!

October 13, 2013October 13, 2013 / Rosie's Nurse corner / Leave a comment

Four years ago today at 4:45am a baby boy was born at 1lb 10 oz and 12 inches long and 27 weeks. He clung to life via life support, IV’s, medications, tube feeds, tests and was given a prognosis of less than 50% survival and if he did survive it would be with complications. Wow a lot to handle when your wife is unconscious with her own health issues and you’re seeing your baby for the first time hooked up to monitors and you are told that you cannot touch him. This is A Story of Faith, the journey that for 5 months and beyond Rosie and Marcus Moore would be walking.

Rosie Moore developed stroke level blood pressure of 220/110 without any symptoms physically, she was a stroke waiting to happen. Then there was the baby, there was a reverse blood flow in the placenta, where not enough blood stream was going to the baby. When her blood pressure was high the baby received the needed nutrients, when the blood pressure was controlled the blood flow was slow and not providing nutrients. Both situations were bad, for mom and baby, so the doctors held out as long as they could to make the best determination to spare both lives. One doctor said, I don’t know what to do, it is a grave situation we can lose them both. People all over the world went in to prayer, fasting and exercising their faith, awaiting God’s hand to embrace this mom and baby to do a miracle. As you can see, that is exactly what He did. God listened to prayers and saved them both.

Many people ask Rosie Moore, why do you keep retelling and reliving the story? Many babies are born premature and make it, why is Kaleb’s story so special? What is so special?? It is in her book A Story of Faith by Rosie Moore, but a snip of it, Kaleb was not even supposed to be conceived according to modern medicine. The Doctors said it was impossible. So you ask why tell the story? Because there are many moms and dads out there that are in the same situation without hope of someone encouraging them and praying for them that can encourage them and say God is in control. Because there are women out there battling breast cancer at stage 4, that don’t know that they have other people who were in the same situation and can encourage them, this story of survival is in the book. Because there are single women out there waiting for the right man to come along and lose hope that the right man will come along. Because there are single moms struggling in life that see no end in sight to their struggles, without knowing that there will be light at the end of that struggle.

This is how Rosie Moore of 27 Miracles, runs her wedding and event planning business based on love, honesty and faith to help those in need have a miracle event! God gave her life and hope, Rosie wants to give back, love and hope to others.

It is not Rosie Moore’s job to convince you to read the book, to donate towards the movie or provide hope. It is her job to just share the stories with you and allow you the readers and viewers to do as you feel with the testimony that you are seeing. However if you want to discuss things further with her, you can reach her through her website at http://www.27miraclesbyrosie.com

Here is the original story of Kaleb…..

A few weeks ago Lauren Johnson of Fox 35 Orlando News interviewed Rosie Moore and a doctor at Florida Hospital about Kaleb, then she invited her back with Kaleb to come on the show this week and share her story live. You can watch both videos here ..Click on the picture

Amanda and her Angela Nuran Shoes at the White Room In St Augustine

September 2, 2013September 2, 2013 / Rosie's Nurse corner / Leave a comment

Amanda knew that on this very important day she was not skimping on the comfort of her shoes as she danced the night along! Amanda decided to purchase the Angela Nuran Shoes called Astoria. She was happy with not only being in comfort, but that 10% of the proceeds would go to Brides Against Breast Cancer.

Not even the rain in St Augustine was going to stop this pretty bride! As you can see her walking down the street to her ceremony, dodging the rain, then dancing the night away on the roof top of the White Room!!
