Our beloved Mike has been diagnosed with advanced stage 4 cancer, and his time with his family and loved ones is painfully limited. If you know Mike, you already know this feels unfair because Mike is the one who shows up for everyone. He’s the first call when someone needs help. The one who gathers people together. The one full of laughter, stories, and jokes. He is the life of every room he walks into. Everywhere he goes, he knows someone… and if he doesn’t, he leaves with a new friend. But more than that, Mike has quietly saved people his whole life. He’s opened his home, shared his resources, given rides, meals, money, time—whatever he had. He’s helped people out of hard situations and given them safety, warmth, family, and hope. Helping others wasn’t just who he was…it became his life’s work through his career in the legal field, always advocating for those who needed someone in their corner.

Mike's family wants nothing more than to be by his side. Though his diagnosis has brought immense challenges, the focus right now is on comfort, peace, and making the most of every single day.

Funds raised will directly support comfort and care needs, essential household expenses, nutritional support, and after-life costs, allowing his family to step away from work and be by his side without the added weight of financial worry. These resources will help ensure that Mike is as comfortable as possible and that his family can focus on making meaningful memories together. Any support or sharing of this story is deeply appreciated and makes a meaningful difference during this difficult time. We are grateful for every prayer, kind word, and act of generosity.
