Hi, my name is Samantha, and I’m one of Michael’s daughters. I’m creating this fundraiser for my dad, Michael, who is currently fighting Pulmonary Fibrosis. My dad has worked hard his entire life to provide for our family. He’s a father of four and truly an amazing dad to all of us. He’s always been the one we could count on, and now he needs our help. He has been in the hospital for the past two weeks, and we’ve recently learned that he cannot come home without a 10-liter portable oxygen machine. This machine is essential for him to breathe safely and live outside the hospital.

One of the hardest parts is that my youngest sister is graduating soon, and my dad would love nothing more than to be there for that moment. Having this oxygen machine would give him the chance to leave the hospital, be with his family, and hopefully attend her graduation. The cost of the machine is more than our family can easily afford right now. On top of this, my parents have fallen behind on some bills due to medical expenses and time away from work. Any additional support will go toward helping them stay afloat during this incredibly difficult time.

We are asking for any help you can give—no amount is too small. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this page would mean so much to us. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for supporting my dad, Michael. It truly means everything to our family.
