TRI-CITIES - A local family looking for a miracle and you can help.

On Friday, there's a benefit concert for a Mailia Goforth.

The local girl was born with a rare condition that effects her heart and lungs.

Her parents are going to travel out of the country for stem cell therapy, that's not approved by the FDA.

Mailia's treatment in the Dominican will cost $75,000.

"We're very excited about this new technology and therapy and for us it is proven because we know a couple of patients that paved the way. We know our baby is going to have her miracle," said Mailia's mother Andrea Goforth.

The concert is Friday night at 7 p.m. at the Central United Protestant church on Stevens in Richland.
