In the fall of 2024 shortly before his 26th birthday, Michael was diagnosed with a life-threatening cancer, Stage 3b cholangiocarcinoma. He has been going through chemo and additional treatments, but the cancer is progressing. These funds will go directly to Michael to help with medical bills and daily expenses. There are many medical expenses not covered by insurance that have to be paid for out of pocket as well as copays and deductibles. Your donation will also allow Michael to travel and relieve some of the stress and worry that come with a life-limiting diagnosis.

From Michael’s fiancée Kaely and mother, Lisa- To know Michael is to love him. He lights up a room with his smile and his humor. He always shows unwavering love, loyalty & support to his fiancée, family & friends. Throughout his journey, Michael has kept a positive outlook and uplifts his loved ones with hope. Mikey deserves the love & support he provides in return.

Michael’s mom, Lisa, has been my best friend since 5th grade. I offered to start this GoFundMe to help relieve the stress of this very challenging and heartbreaking situation. Funds donated go directly to Michael.
