Mike and Rose

Please join us in raising money to help pay for all the unexpected medical bills and care needed to get Mike back on his feet. In October, 2017 “Big Mike” Mocchi went in for a routine surgery which was to be followed up with a one week hospital stay. Unfortunately, due to several complications and a post-surgery infection, Big Mike’s one week stay has turned into an ongoing battle.  After being released from his extensive initial hospital stay, Big Mike has had several setbacks and re-admissions to the hospital. He is working on getting strong enough to endure two additional much needed surgeries.

Big Mike has a wonderful wife, Rose, who has been there every step of the way and has also been picking up extra shifts at work to ease their financial burden. In addition, their 5 children have pulled together to support their parents and help in every way during this trying time.

Anyone who knows Big Mike and Rose know the true meaning of a 'friend'. They are two people who are always ready to help, whether it's fixing an appliance, moving furniture, or baking cookies. They have welcomed many strangers into their home for wonderful meals and unbelievable hospitality. Each person who enters their lives becomes a friend. It is now their turn to be on the receiving end of the love and kindness they show to everyone they meet.

Despite Big Mike and Rose’s reluctance to accept offers of help, their nieces and nephews have decided to set up this go fund me to help offset current and future medical costs. Big Mike and Rose are loved more than they know and we hope to ease their financial burden. We all know how much Mike and Rose help everyone around them and now you can help with a donation. 

Please help us to help our favorite gentle giant.
