I have put this together in hopes that there are people out there that will read this and want to help this family.

Mikey was born disabled and requires complete care in all aspects of daily living. He is wheelchair-bound and requires a custom chair due to his size and his medical needs, because of this he is unable to fit in a normal wheelchair van and requires the larger full-size vans.

April is my best friend and her mother Peggy has been like a second mother to me. These two women have committed their lives to the care of Mikey and providing him with the best life they can give him.

Over the twenty-six years that I have known them I have watched them stand by his side. Always fighting for him to have a quality life, to be treated as others, and always be involved in anything going on around him. Any time his health has declined they are there at the hospital, always praying, always keeping their hopes high that he will be ok and able to return home with them.

They want to provide Mikey with as close to a normal life as possible but struggle to find ways to take him to activities outside the home. This would open up a new world to not only Mikey but also these two beautiful women who have been dedicated to him. I hope you can find it in your heart to help Mikey and the people who love him.
