Our dad, Mike Abbatiello, is currently facing the fight of his life. Recently he suffered a massive heart attack followed by multiple cardiac arrests. It is truly a miracle that he is still here with us today. Mike has always been a fighter, and that same strength is carrying him through a long and difficult road to recovery. While we are incredibly grateful for the progress he has made, the journey ahead will take time—possibly months. Right now our biggest priority is allowing him to focus fully on healing without the added stress of medical bills.

Many people have reached out asking how they can help or if they can visit. Your thoughts, prayers, and support have meant the world to our family. If you are looking for a way to help, we have created this GoFundMe to help offset Mike’s medical expenses during this recovery process. Mike is a father, grandfather, brother, and friend, but many people also know him as “Coach.” For years he dedicated his time to coaching youth baseball and mentoring kids in our community. He has touched countless lives through his patience, encouragement, and love of the game. Now it’s our turn to rally around him.

Any donation—no matter how small—will help relieve the burden of medical costs and allow Mike to keep focusing on what matters most: recovery and getting back to the people who love him. Thank you for your support, prayers, and for being part of Mike’s team during this fight.
