Help Mike Akins Heal After Major Surgery

Help Us Support Mike's Recovery

Hello,

My name is John Clark, and I own @designREMODEL. I am seeking your support for a key team member, Michael Akins, who is recovering from a series of major surgeries.

On June 20th, 2024, Mike underwent a grueling 14-hour operation involving seven separate procedures to rebuild the left side of his jaw for the third time. This surgery was necessary due to complications from previous surgeries, including an ongoing infection around hardware installed three years ago.

In this recent surgery, a bone from Mike's lower leg was repurposed as a jaw bone, a vein was relocated to his face, and skin grafts were performed. While the surgery was successful, Mike's road to full recovery is expected to take at least a year.

Despite planning ahead and setting aside funds, the extensive nature of the surgery and the lengthy recovery period mean Mike will likely exhaust his savings before he can return to work. We aim to raise $6,500 to help with his medical and living expenses.

Mike has been an invaluable member of our team and a talented craftsman who truly cares about the work he does for our clients. He often goes the extra mile to ensure that a job is done exceptionally well. For instance, I can recall times when Mike would, on his own time, look far and wide to find just the right material for a project or do extensive research to resolve a challenge on a job site. He has always been passionate about doing it right.

We want to ensure that he can focus on his recovery without the added stress of financial strain. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Mike's life during this challenging time.

Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help. Your generosity and support mean the world to us and to Mike.

Thank you for your kindness and support.

Sincerely,
John Clark
Owner, @designREMODEL
