Our Team
Miracle at KSU has always placed a huge emphasis on being a family. As a family, it is important that you know why we do what we do. Our 'why' is our everything. It's what keeps each member of this organization going when the road gets long and our goals seem so far out of reach. Get to know us by getting to know our 'why's!
MEET THE PRESIDENT
Nadia Garcia-Veurink|
Executive Director
My why is my future and current patients! I have the honor of working as a Nurse Extern on the TICU floor at the Arthur M. Blank Hospital of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta! It has been one of my biggest opportunities to start my medical career and I could not be more thankful than to start it at Children’s! Children’s is such an amazing hospital and organization, and I am so fortunate to be able to fundraise and work for them! I am so grateful to be the Executive Director and to work hard for the kiddos who can’t! It is such a blessing to be able to go the extra mile for the kids inside and outside of the hospital and I would not change it for the world!!

My why is because my faith in Christ has taught me that every single child is worthy of love, compassion and quality care! As a nursing student, I hope to carry that same compassion into caring for my future patients and their families! Miracle at KSU is beyond special to me because I have gotten to see our organization contribute to making miracles happen every single day!

My why is rooted in the belief that no child or family should have to face a difficult journey alone. I enjoy bringing all the kids & families hope and happiness even in hard times! I want to be part of something bigger than myself and serve without needing recognition. Fundraising is my way of giving back, showing my faith, and support Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for all they do to help others.

My ‘why’ behind fundraising for Miracle at KSU is my future patients. As an aspiring Physician Assistant and biology major, I understand the importance of innovative research and quality care in giving children a healthy future. The funds we raise go directly toward life-saving medical equipment, research, and family support. Most importantly, the funds help ensure that kids can still be kids during their time at Children’s. Every child deserves that, and by being part of Miracle at KSU, we’re making that possible.
