Hello - For those of you that don't know me, my name is Ashley and I am Mike's daughter. For as long as I can remember, my dad has been spending his spare time cooking for his family, loved ones, friends that became family, and even strangers. He would volunteer his time at our annual carnival at Holy Trinity and also make countless meals for those who couldn't for Thanksgiving. Right now, Dad is at the bottom of a very long uphill battle, and he can use your help!

Back on February 18th, Dad suffered a heart attack which led to many more incidents, including a cut artery due to the ECMO machine he had to be placed on, a graft that keeps getting infected, and a stroke during this time. He will need extensive physical therapy once he is done at Yale, and insurance only covers a portion of this. As we approach the month mark of him being in the hospital, he has not been able to work and therefore is not bringing in a paycheck. To make sure Dad can continue to manage the finances, without being burdened with too many medical bills, we are asking for help from his community. Any donation, big or small, will help more than you know! If you are not able to donate at this time, please consider sharing this page. I appreciate your support during this difficult time!

With love and gratitude,

Ashley Ruotolo
