My name is Charlie Boyle. One of my friends for over 50 years, Mike Sabatino, died last month. Mike and his widow, Michelle, have been struggling for the last few years with personal and financial issues. This fundraiser is for Michelle who needs financial assistance badly.

If you are reading this and also knew Mike, you will be remembering him with great fondness. There was a period of time when Mike helped many people financially, including me. He was generous at all times, and he lived life large, and wanted his friends to do so. As referenced above, he and Michelle have struggled for a few years. All funds collected will be used for her benefit to provide her with food, clothing, and other essentials. Michelle has significant medical issues and is already on government assistance. But, as many of us know, those funds won’t even begin to take care of her minimum needs.

I hope that you can find it within yourselves to reach down into your pockets and donate. I know lots of people are asking for your money, but if Mike was a friend of yours, this is a way to give back by giving to someone he loved. If you are not of Mike, well then just know that your donation will help pay for the basic living expenses of Michelle, his widow.

Thanks so much in advance for whatever contribution you can make.
