In 2019, Michael joined the Serve to Learn program for 3 weeks in Der El Barsha in Egypt, a trip that changed his life. Michael departed to his heavenly home on February 24th, 2021. To honor Michael's love for the service, we have organized this fundraiser.

Serve To Learn wrote:

"Mike was a kind and gentle spirit who was loved by everyone whom he encountered, He has certainly left a mark in the hearts of many - children, families, fellow volunteers, church servants, and Coptic Orphans staff. His absence from this earth will not go unnoticed."

On his return from Egypt, Mike posted:
"Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow." Isaiah 1:17

Thank you to the children of Deir Al Barsha for showing me what true humility and grace are, and thank you for teaching me so much more than I ever could've taught you."
