Jase and Missy Robertson’s journey: Overcoming obstacles and finding strength

Mia Robertson, the youngest daughter of Duck Dynasty’s Jase & Missy Robertson, has been born with a condition known as cleft lip and palate, a gap in the upper lip that can involve the gum as well.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shares that about one in every 1,600 babies is born with a cleft lip with a cleft palate in the U.S.

Because of her condition, sweet Mia, who is now 18 years old, has been forced to undergo 13 surgeries, with the 14th taking place just recently. The family truly hopes this would be Mia’s last procedure before her problem is finally solved.

Throughout every surgery, the young girl remains positive. What’s most, she hopes she serves as inspiration for other young children who are born with the same condition. On her own initiative and with the help of her family, Mia established the Mia Moo Fund in order to assist in making certain that each and every child wears a smile on their face.

“One of the functions of the Mia Moo Fund is to spread awareness of the cleft lip and palate journey,” Missy Robertson told Christian Post. “The other one is to help with medical funds for the parents and the families living right here in America.”

On his podcast Unashamed, Jase Robertson shared an update on Mia’s condition and said that his daughter is recovering well.

“She’s doing great. She’s turned a corner,” he said, and then added, “Everything seems great, seems to be fine.”

“Surgery went a little longer than expected, but she is home and recovering,” the loving father told his podcast listeners. “Thank you for praying for her and for our family. She is a champion!”

Before the surgery took place, Missy spoke of her daughter’s condition and explained that she had been constantly asked about the number of procedures Mia would need to undergo in the future. “There is never any other response than ‘We just don’t know,’” Missy said. She then added that they rely on God for assistance. “Since she is 18 now, she is taking the lead in all the discussions and medical forms. It’s been a little strange,” Missy wrote. “But it’s just another reminder to lean on the Lord and that I’m not in control.”

Mia also hopes that she’s at “the finish line.”

“Hopefully the last time I’ll see my doctors in this setting! It’s been a long road but we are at the finish line,” brave Mia said.

The Robertson’s have also been preparing for a new addition to the family as they open the doors to their hearts and home for a child whose mother was unfit to take care of.

We wish Mia speedy recovery.

Heartbreaking Tragedy: 3-Year-Old Boy’s Life Cut Short on His Birthday

We announce with heavy hearts the tragic news of the death of 3-year-old Josiah Toleafoa, who cruelly passed away on his third birthday, which was meant to be a day of joy and celebration.

Josiah and his family were attending a kids’ party at Play City, which has an indoor parking lot where the event took place. Young Josiah was struck by a car in a horrible turn of events that left his family and everyone in attendance shocked and incredulous.

Witnesses describe the horrifying sight as Josiah’s mother, distraught, screamed and sobbed while paramedics worked frantically to save her son. Josiah was declared dead at the Rady Children’s Hospital in spite of their best attempts. The unthinkable had occurred, shattering the world of this family.

Investigations are currently ongoing on the accident’s circumstances. The driver in question, a 36-year-old whose identity is pending confirmation, was not impaired by drink or drugs. He stayed and assisted the authorities from the spot. The precise reason for the mishap is still a mystery.

The family has banded together during this unbearably difficult time to establish a GoFundMe campaign to help Josiah’s parents with the costs of his funeral. Josiah was a happy youngster, according to his aunt Tatiana Toleafoa, whose smile and kind heart made everyone around him happy. The thought of all the incredible things Josiah may have achieved if his life hadn’t been tragically cut short is heartbreaking.

“This GoFundMe page is for my sweet nephew’s funeral costs and services. He was a little angel who touched so many lives in so many different ways before he was called to Heaven.” “Anything at all, in any amount, would help.”

The owner of Play City donated $2,000, and the landlord matched the amount, demonstrating how the community has come together in support of the bereaved family. But as of right now, no one has been taken into custody.

We are so sorry for Josiah’s family at this unbearable loss. Nothing can compare to the unbearable pain that losing a child can cause a family. We ask that you remember them during this trying time and offer our sincerest condolences to them.

Peace be with you, darling Josiah.
