<div><strong>Support Michael and His Family Through a Life-Changing Cancer Diagnosis</strong>

</div>

<div>In February 2026, Michael — a devoted husband, father, uncle, educator, and friend — received life-altering news: he has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer. Affecting only 500 to 1,000 people worldwide each year, this cancer progresses rapidly and does not develop in stages like many other cancers, making it especially challenging to fight.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>For months leading up to this diagnosis, Michael and Denise navigated a long and exhausting journey of appointments, referrals, testing, and consultations with multiple medical professionals. What began as uncertainty slowly unfolded into answers no family ever expects to hear.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This week, Michael begins treatment.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The road ahead includes intensive care, inpatient hospital stays, and frequent travel to MD Anderson in Houston. Treatment will require strength and resilience.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Michael is a dedicated educational leader who pours his time and steady presence into his campus community each day. He and Denise have built a life grounded in love and commitment. They are devoted parents who cherish time together whether it’s quiet evenings at home or simply enjoying one another’s company. They are the kind of family who shows up for others without judgment and with open hearts.

</div>

<div>While Michael plans to continue working as treatment allows, the reality is that the coming months will bring significant financial strain. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This fundraiser exists to help offset expenses so Michael and Denise can focus on his treatment and healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We have set a fundraising goal of $75,000 to help offset the significant expenses associated with Michael’s treatment, including extended inpatient hospital stays, travel to and from Houston, lodging during treatment periods, medical bills, and prescription costs. As treatment begins and the months ahead unfold, this goal reflects the reality of ongoing care and the financial impact it will bring. Every contribution will go directly toward supporting Michael and his family during this critical season.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you know Michael, you know his quiet strength. If you know Denise, you know her steady support and grace. Together, they are approaching this battle with courage and determination. They are hopeful. They are strong.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How You Can Help:</strong>

</div>

<div>• Give, if you are able. Every contribution — no matter the size — makes a meaningful difference.

</div>

<div>• Share this page and keep Michael and his family in your positive thoughts and prayers.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s surround this loving family with compassion and support during this critical time.

</div>

<div><br />
