Michael Goldstein Cancer Fund

Michael Goldstein is a great husband to his wife Kiva and wonderful father to their adorable two little girls, both of whom are under the age of 3.


Michael was recently diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, specifically Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). With such an aggressive type of cancer, Michael's medical treatment requires five days of hospitalization every two weeks for daily "double espresso" chemotherapy.  When he is not in the hospital, he must go in every day for booster shots.  Luckily, the cancer has not spread to his spine or bone marrow.

Since the age of 16, Michael has been a professional children’s entertainer.  Known as the Sheriff of Fun, aka Mickle the Pickle, Michael has brought untold joy to children at private parties, fairs and the like. 


Michael has worked with children with cancer for over 20 years.  In addition to bringing fun and love to children in cancer wards, he has also worked with children at the cancer camps, Camp Sunshine and Camp Care.  He says that the bravery he experienced with those children there has inspired him to face his cancer with the same kind of courage.


In this challenging time, Michael and his wife and daughters are blessed with family and friends who are assisting them with love, rides and care. However, given Michael’s condition, he is totally unable to continue his work and therefore unable to support his family. In addition to your love and prayers, we are also asking you for financial aid for medical and living expenses.  We thank you for all your support.
