Help Mike Painter and His Family Fight Liver Cancer

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We are reaching out to you on behalf of Michael Painter, a devoted husband, father, and first responder who is currently fighting the biggest battle of his life. Mike has been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer, specifically a rare and aggressive form called cholangiocarcinoma.

Mike's journey began when doctors discovered spots on his liver during a CT scan. To fight this disease, he has started chemotherapy, with the hope of addressing the cancer in his liver once his blood is clear. This treatment, while vital, has brought many challenges. As an EMT, police officer, and deputy sheriff, Mike has spent years selflessly caring for others in their moments of greatest need. But his immune system will be severely weakened during treatment, making it impossible for him to continue working in the field he loves so much during his time in treatment.

Mike’s life has been one of service. He has dedicated himself to protecting and helping others as a police officer, deputy sheriff, and EMT. Now, in this critical time, Mike and his family need our help. The cost of medical treatments, combined with the loss of income, has placed a tremendous financial strain on his wife Kristen and their teenage son Deacon.

This is where we, as a community, can step in. Your support will help ease the burden of mounting bills and ensure that the Painter family can focus on what matters most—Mike's health and their time together as a family. Every donation, no matter the size, is a blessing and makes a difference.

Even if you are unable to contribute financially, your prayers and positive thoughts mean the world to Mike and his family. They deeply appreciate the love and encouragement that surrounds them during this difficult time.

Mike has spent his life serving others, and now it’s our turn to show him and his family the same love and compassion he has always given so freely. Let’s rally around the Painters and remind them they are not alone in this fight. Together, we can help Mike beat cancer and create hope for the future.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Your support means more than words can express.

With gratitude,
The Painter Family and Friends
