Fund to Bring Mikey Camiso Home

Our beautiful, brilliant, funny, kind brother was a disabled veteran. He suffered from a brain injury sustained while serving his country, and as a result, he struggled with mental illness & depression. The one thing that truly made him happy was being outside, in nature.

Mikey died tragically while hiking the Appalachian trail. He drowned trying to cross the Kennebec River in Maine, not far from the trail’s end. His body was discovered yesterday by the authorities in Maine. We need to bring our brother home to lay him to rest. Unfortunately, we have learned that the cost to do so is very expensive. The costs that we have been quoted have been unexpected. 

Please, in lieu of flowers or condolences, please donate whatever you can. We need to raise money to bring Mikey home. Anything that you can give would be greatly appreciated. If you can share Mikey’s story, it would be so helpful. Any funds that may remain after covering the cost of bringing Mikey home will be donated to The Soldiers Project.

Thank you all for your outpouring of love and support. We are grateful. R.I.P. to our baby brother, beautiful blue eyes, beautiful sunshine. Gone far too soon. Our hearts are broken.
