Help Alyssa and Mike with expenses

Donation protected
Hi my name is Michell Shaffer
My grandson Michael is fighting a battle that no child should have to fight. He is fighting for his life. Mikey just turned six years old last week and he has not even had a chance to play with his gifts He is is a loving caring brother to a 2 year old brother and a six-month-old sister. He loves Transformers and playing Minecraft. He is a very active little boy. On Friday June 16th Mikey woke up at 11pm with his head hurting really bad. His Dad tried to find out where it was hurting when he noticed Mikey was not responding much. He was then rushed to Advent Hospital in Ocala Florida where they did a CT scan and found bleeding on his brain. Advent then had Mikey airlifted to Shands Hospital in Gainesville Florida where they did more tests. Early Sunday morning Mikey was rushed into emergency surgery where they had to remove 10 cm by 10 cm of his skull. They think Mikey has a rare condition called AVM Arteriovenous Malformation AVM is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins which disrupt normal blood flow and oxygen circulation to the brain. He is in critical condition and fighting for his life. The whole family is devastated right now and are trying to find ways to help out his parents Alyssa and Mike to get through the next couple of months with their bills or any other expenses as his hospital stay is expected to be 3 months or longer. Mikey will need to have future operations as it will be a very long recovery. If you can find it in your heart, and are able to help us, words cannot express how much we appreciate it. We will pray every day that the blessing you have given us will be returned to you one day. We understand that not everyone that reads this message will be able to help financially and all we ask from you is that you continue to send us your love, support, and prayers.Mikey is loved by so many. Thank you everyone for all of your love, prayers, and support. We definitely need them. We all know how much strength this little 6 Year old boy has and we have no doubt that he will get through this.
