Support Mike's Road to Recovery

Update: We are immensely grateful to all the people who have extended their support to Michael through their generous donations, kind thoughts, and heartfelt prayers. Following a challenging 19-day stay, Michael is now preparing to depart the hospital in Texas being transported to Florida, where he will undergo an extensive program of Occupational and Physical therapy over the coming months. This comprehensive treatment plan has been designed to assist him in his ongoing path to recovery. As we prepare to face the road ahead, which undoubtedly presents its own set of challenges, we kindly ask for your continued prayers and support as we adapt to Michael's new circumstances and navigate the adjustments that lie ahead.

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-hearted Supporters,

I am reaching out to you today on behalf of my beloved cousin, Mike Copija, who has recently faced a life-altering health crisis. Just a few weeks ago, Mike suffered from a sudden cardiac arrest that led to him being placed in a medically-induced coma. After a challenging battle, he has emerged from the coma, but unfortunately, he is now facing permanent brain damage.

Mike is a compassionate and caring individual who has always been there for his family and friends. His passion for cooking led him to pursue a career as a chef, bringing joy to so many through his culinary creations. However, due to this unexpected health event, Mike's life has been drastically altered, and he now faces a long and uncertain road to recovery.

The funds raised through this GoFundMe campaign will be instrumental in supporting Mike's journey towards recovery. The money will be used to cover the substantial medical bills that have accumulated as a result of his emergency medical care. Additionally, it will help provide for the ongoing long-term care that Mike will require as he works to regain his strength and independence.

The road to recovery will be challenging, but with your generous support, we can ease the financial burden that Mike and our family are currently facing. Your contributions will also assist in ensuring that Mike receives the best possible care and support as he strives to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead.

Please join us in rallying around Mike during this difficult time. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact on his journey towards healing and rebuilding his life. Together, we can help Mike get back on his feet and continue to share his love for cooking with the world.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support. Your kindness will make a significant difference in Mike's life and the lives of those who cherish him.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Copija, DiCaro, and Jakubiec Family
