Help Mike get through His Fight Against Cancer

Starting this fundraiser for Michael Parrella

Late August, Michael was diagnosed with Cancer, the size of a grapefruit which has spread into the lymph nodes, and attached to the walls of the colon. If you know Michael, you know he is a hard working, kind, caring person. A father of 3 who will always go out of his way to help others, his sons, his family and his friends. Those of you who know him, know he’s always smiling and joking regardless of how much pain he’s been in, being the eldest of four, his siblings have always looked up to him, Michael is the first one they call upon when they, or his Dad have needed anything. Michael oldest son, Mikey, passed away in 2019 at the age of 23, from a debilitating condition at birth, shockingly and suddenly his son, Gian passed away just 22 months later in 2020, Michael has still found a way to get up every day, after all, he has Gian’s twin, Anthony, the two of them rely on each other to get thru each day and turn the page to the next. He still gets up!!! Through so much tragedy, this past summer he found his “special person”, Pat, whom has been by Michaels side, in a matter of months, she has not only been his rock, but also our entire families god send. Pat has assured Michael gets to his appointments, even if it means ratting him out to the doctors when he holds back on how he is really feeling, It’s been difficult for Michael to depend and get close to someone after so much heartache. (Thank you Pat,❤️ from ALL of us!!!). He still gets Up!!!!

Michael has a strong faith in God, "God only gives what we can handle" & he has a funny way of making the right paths to cross. Michaels friends have stepped up to the plate, lending a hand and getting him wherever Doctors tell him to be, (Thank you Anthony, Everett & Mike P. to name a few). Michael is fortunate to have Health Insurance, but there are still expenses with this diagnosis not covered, and being a Small Business owner, if he doesn’t work, the income stops, yet his personal bills don’t. Looking forward, potentially, not being able to return to work for the next three to six months at best, there is now a financial strain on Michael, a stress he should not endure. If anyone could donate anywhere from $5, $10, or whatever it is you can spare, it would be greatly appreciated! Even as much as a “share” would mean the world to me. Thank you all in advance ❤️

Michael is scheduled to start Chemo & Radiation the first week of November. Doctors have set up a 6 week plan, 5 days a week to receive radiation, all Michael want for Christmas is a report from his doctor that their plan worked. That the grapefruit-size tumor will become small enough to be extracted, allowing Michael to start a new year, with a bright future, full of love, and longevity. Michael is not afraid of the fight, it may be his biggest yet, but he is ready to beat this!!! He has had enough of this already,, He has many Angels on his shoulders to put in a good word to the Big Guy, please join all of us in praying for Michaels speedy recovery. Michael still Gets Up!!!! YOU GOT THIS MIKE ❤️
