Stand by Mike's Family in Their Time of Need

In 2017, Mike’s life took a turn when his L-5 vertebra snapped, requiring three major back surgeries. For a short time, the procedures gave him relief; however, after only two years, the pain returned. Still, Mike worked every single day, pushing through crippling pain to provide for his family.

Fast forward to this year:

On March 5th and 6th, Mike underwent a two-day, nine-hour marathon surgery to repair the severe damage to his spine, which had shifted 26 degrees out of alignment. Surgeons inserted three prosthetic discs, two rods, and 12 screws, fusing nearly his entire lower spine to his pelvis.

The surgery was successful, but the road to recovery will take a full year. Doctors have confirmed that Mike will never be able to work again. Standing, sitting for long periods, or walking long distances is now impossible for him.

Throughout this painful journey, his wife Jessica has worked 2–3 jobs in an effort to keep their family afloat. Last month, they were hit with devastating news: their landlord is selling their home, and they must move. With all of their savings depleted, and even many possessions sold just to survive, they are now facing the very real possibility of homelessness.

Mike has worked hard his entire life to provide for others—his own family and anyone who needed a hand. Together, Mike and Jessica are raising a loving, blended family:

- Gracie (21)

- Taylor (17)

- Breeley (15)

- Talon (19)

- Belle (16)

Even in the midst of pain and uncertainty, Mike has continued to pour into others. As a content creator and livestreamer, he has built a community of over 1,900 TikTok followers, offering encouragement, faith, and mental health awareness. His Discord server has become a safe place where countless friendships have blossomed, all because Mike has given his heart to lifting others up.

Now, it is time for us to lift him up.

Our goal is to help this family avoid homelessness and get back on their feet while Mike continues his long recovery. Mike is a humble man, and asking for help does not come easily to him. But as he says at the end of every livestream:

“God loves you, I love you, and I’ll see you soon.”
