From Michelle’s family—her brother Jim, sister Danielle, and sister-cousin Kim:

Michelle is our heart, and we love her more than words can express. She has always been a source of strength, compassion, and unconditional love for everyone around her. Seeing her face this diagnosis is something we never imagined, and as her family, we are standing beside her with all the love and support we have. We are asking our community to help us lift her up during this incredibly difficult time.

Michelle Arino was recently diagnosed with brain cancer, a life-changing and overwhelming diagnosis that has turned her world upside down. Michelle is known by everyone who loves her as a person full of compassion, kindness, and love. Throughout her life, she has always been there for others—supporting friends, family, and even strangers whenever they needed help, comfort, or encouragement.

Michelle is both a devoted dog and cat mom, and her beloved pets bring her comfort, strength, and motivation during this difficult time. She is deeply loved and surrounded by many friends whose lives she has touched in meaningful ways.

As Michelle begins this challenging journey, she is facing mounting medical expenses, everyday bills, and uncertainty about her financial future. This fundraiser is meant to help ease the financial burden so she can focus on her treatment, healing, and overall well-being.

We are asking for as much love, support, prayers, and positive thoughts as possible during this time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Michelle in your prayers. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support for Michelle during this incredibly difficult chapter of her life.
