Mio the Artist

About Mio & This Website

Mio Mendiola is 7 years old, draws everyday, and says that someday, he would like to become an artist. We think he already IS one!!

Sadly, last August 2009 (when he was 5 years old), Mio was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. We MioWarriors (as Mio's mom Jasmine likes to call us) are organizing various projects to help raise funds for Mio's medication, hospitalization and medical treatments.

MiotheArtist.com is the avenue where we can feature Mio's raw drawing talent (he's never had formal art lessons) and at the same time, utilize his creations and involve family/friends/strangers so that we can ALL help Mio battle this disease.

For more information about Mio & Mommy Jasmine and their fight against 'the enemies in Mio's body', please visit MioFightsCancer.com. If you'd like to volunteer, please send an e-mail to miofightscancer@gmail.com, Subject Line: Mio The Artist Volunteer.

Thank you for dropping by, and we hope you can help us spread the word about this site, or perhaps participate in any of our fundraising projects. If not, then we humbly ask that you keep Mio and Jasmine in your prayers. :)
