Life Or Death For Mike
Donation protected
Michael Dennis Reid, better known as Mike by friends and family, was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis with underlying COPD in 2015. Doctors gave Mike a year to live but by God's amazing Grace he's still with us. Daily living is difficult for Mike. Even the simple task of dressing takes Mike a couple of hours due to lack of oxygen. Mike & his deceased wife Pam were owners of Pearl Vision in the Farmington mall for 25 yrs. He's also been active as an Activity Bus Driver for Aztec schools & the Boy's & Girl's Club driving students to softball, football, volleyball & basketball games. He is loved & respected by the students. He is also a member of the Aztec Nazarene Church, CMA - Christian Motorcycle Association as well as the GWRRA - Gold Wing Road Riders Association. Mike loves the Lord and is a joy & encouragement to everyone he meets. He has a fabulous sense of humor & through his illness has never lost his Faith in Christ. Through the CMA Mike met & fell in love with his beautiful wife Debbie, who married Mike knowing life would be difficult & short. After much research, Mike found a successful treatment for Cystic Fibrosis using his own stem cells. The success rate has given Mike & Debbie so much hope. They take your stem cells, process & then in Mike's case, would put them into his lungs. Unfortunately insurance doesn't cover it & the cost is $12,000. That doesn't cover the cost of travel, etc back & forth to Phoenix. Hence this GoFundMe account. We love Mike & Debbie and want to see him go on living. Would you please consider a donation for the procedure. No gift is too small & Mike & Debbie would be forever grateful.
