Miracles for Mikey

As most of you already know my nephew Mikey suffered a horrific tragedy in 2010 that left him paralyzed, partially blind and unable to care for himself.  As a result my brother Michael and his wife Patti have been solely responsible for his care 24/7 and insurance doesn't cover a lot of the expenses.  In addition to completely renovating their home to accommodate Mikey,  they had to buy a handicap accessible van that is now in need of replacement.  If you've followed the case in the media you know that there was a civil lawsuit that they "won" but have yet to see a penny from the city of Chicago.  Michael and Patti are forced to pay cash for anything that insurance doesn't cover.  We normally do a golf fundraiser every year that helps support the family to cover medical expenses.  Unfortunately due to  Covid 19 we were unable to do the normal fundraising activities that help fund his care.  

We are asking for much needed prayers and any donation you would be able to give to assist our family.  My goal is to raise enough money to help handle current medical expenses and enough to replace the van.  

We understand that times are tough for many and if you are unable to donate we ask that you simply keep Mikey in your prayers.

If you are not aware of his case I have included the links below to give more detail. 

100% of the donations will go to Michael and Patti for the ongoing care of Mikey.
