Big Brother Mike Has Cancer And Needs Our Help!

Hi, my name is Ana. I am the middle sister to two great brothers. Our older brother, Mike, has Parotid Gland Cancer. (The parotid glands are two salivary glands that sit just in front of the ears. There is one on each side of the face.) Mike has a tumor on the left one, the tumor has grown quickly on the bottom of his face. It needs to be a surgically removed, this delicate, long surgery to do that is April 24th. The hope and prayer is that it is all remove safely and that he will have as much function of the left side of his face as possible. Nerves, his jaw, and his ear are currently affected so he will need some reconstructive surgery as well.

Along with the changes from the surgery, my brother will have to deal with the financial burden from taking time off work and the doctors bills. As a family, we were going to pull together to help him in any way that we can, but we've had several people outside the family ask if there is a GoFundMe page, one friend of his even offered to set one up, which was very kind!

The prayers, concern, and love that's been poured out is greatly appreciated and felt, and so would any financial help. The money will go towards house bills while my brother is off of work and anything leftover to medical bills. He has a family shown on the attached picture and he is concerned about there well-being. We as his family and friends will be there to help. Thank you!
