Hi, my name is Carmen Baker. Last January, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, so I know firsthand how tough and frightening this journey can be. Through my own experience, I met Mikey, and we’ve connected deeply because we’ve both been through the same fight in different ways.

Mikey was just 16 years old when he was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. Since then, he has bravely faced surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, showing incredible strength and courage every step of the way.

Recently, Mikey and his family received the devastating news that his cancer is now terminal.

With his 18th birthday approaching, Mikey has one special wish: to travel and make precious memories with his girlfriend. Whether it’s Jamaica or another special destination, the dream is simply to experience life beyond hospitals and treatments, and to create moments they can both treasure forever.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will go directly towards making this dream a reality — covering flights, accommodation, and expenses so Mikey can focus on living, laughing, and loving in the time he has.

Mikey is more than his illness. He is a son, a boyfriend, and a friend — full of kindness, humor, and light. With your help, we can give him the unforgettable gift of adventure and memories that will last a lifetime.

Please donate if you can and share this page widely. Together, we can help Mikey’s dream come true.

With love and gratitude,

Carmen Baker & family, and Friends of Mikey
