Michael O’Connell’s medical fund

A message to friends and family of Michael O’Connell, especially our Camp Ave, MAMS and Calhoun family:

It pains me to sit here and write this, but our beloved Michael was recently diagnosed with stage four cancer. Words can’t even describe the impact he has had on my life these past 28 years, and I know so many others feel the same way. Michael has always been everyone’s best friend and lights up literally every room he walks in to. His contagious laugh and incredible smile can brighten anyone’s day and I hope we can brighten his days by helping him out during this trying time.

As he enters this next chapter of his life I want to make sure he has the emotional and financial support needed to navigate this time. As you can imagine, medical bills are going to continue to pile up and he is currently unable to work. I also want to ensure he’s able to travel to receive the necessary treatment for his hopeful recovery.

Please consider making a donation to him. And, as always, your prayers, love and support are greatly appreciated. Feel free to drop a funny story or memory (I know we all have hundreds) or send well wishes below.

I will keep everyone updated as best as I can and I know Michael is so deeply grateful.

With love,

Kristi Baxter (Forgione)
