On June 24, 2021, Champlain Towers South, a 12-story beachfront condominium in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Florida, partially collapsed, resulting in the deaths of 98 innocent people. Among them was Hilda Noriega, grandmother of Mike Noriega. While the family was in shock and overcome by grief in the aftermath of the tragedy, Noriega served as a media spokesperson on behalf of the families impacted, allowing him to not only share the profound faith of his grandmother but to also discover his own in the process. Noriega has become an inspirational voice for both his family and community, sharing their experience, struggles and unwavering faith through the colossal tragedy.
About 2.5 million people die in the United States annually, each leaving an average of five grieving people behind. No one is left unaffected by the grief of losing a loved one. Through Noriega’s difficult seasons of dealing with a burdened and broken heart, he’s found healing through his own “5 Requisites of Restoration” which he shares in “Uncollapsable Soul.”
Mike Noriega, the author of "Uncollapsable Soul: How Do You Endure a Broken Heart Without Crushing Your Spirit?" to honor his grandmother and the victims who passed away in the Surfside Condo Collapse in 2021.
