Please help with Mike's medical bills
Donation protected
Most of you know Mike is one of a kind. He is the first to help a friend in need and a true family man. Mike describes our son Theo (6) as his dream come true and our daughter Jillian (8) as beyond his wildest dreams. When Mike isn’t working or volunteering with his Kiwanis club he is spending time with the kids. He loves to take Jillian to gymnastics, Theo to Taekwondo and both to swim at the JMBA. Our home is best described as a clubhouse and the door is always open to friends. Most weekends it is full of our friends and loved ones to relax, enjoy life and each other’s company. We love to share life’s joys and are also there for each other during the hard times. On January 23rd we learned that Mike has a large mass (9.3cm) on his left kidney. From that day on, our lives became a tailspin of countless doctors appointments. Mike has been going through test after test until the worst was confirmed after a kidney biopsy on February 14th, stage 2 renal cell carcinoma. Starting March 3rd Mike will start 10 rounds of immunotherapy drug infusions. Unfortunately because of the size of the tumor and the parts of the kidney it has grown into they do not think they can save part of the kidney and on March 19th he will be going in for a radical nephrectomy. The few friends and family members that we have already spoken to about this have been eager to help. With the doctor bills already starting to pile up, any donations to help us pay them down would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you know our children, please do not use the C word around them. We are trying to avoid talking about Mike’s cancer around them in hopes to not frighten them. Thank you to anyone who can donate, we appreciate your generosity.
