As many of you know, Michael Szkolka and his wife Andrea Wirth are both living with stage IV metastatic cancer; Michael was recently hospitalized and has now returned home to receive hospice care. They're deeply touched by the outpouring of support and offers of help that you've sent. It's hard for them to admit, but truthfully they would be grateful for your help. Many have offered to help out in any way, but coordinating support tasks for various volunteers just increases their burden. With COVID still prevalent, the best way to help them out is by supporting them with a donation of any size.

For those who want to support Michael and Andrea, we've opened this GoFundMe account to provide a convenient and meaningful way to help. We will put all donations toward:

Loved ones, please understand that this is not a plea for donations but rather an appeal to help us channel the outpouring of love you're so generously offering us to support Andrea and Michael in their time of need. We're so very grateful for your notes and well wishes, your love, and your friendship. Bless all of you, stay well, and know that your positive thoughts are a source of immense comfort.
