Family in Need of Support
Please take a moment to read a heart felt message below from a family within our greater community. We ask that you please show your support and consideration in anyway possible.

On April 2nd our lives changed forever! Our beautiful and amazing son Michael was diagnosed with a devastating ultra-rare disease. Over the last couple of months we have gone through some tough times. Telling our friends and family about our sons disease and asking for your help is probably the hardest thing we have ever had to do.

We love our son more than life itself and will do whatever we can to change his fate. With your support we can Cure Michael and other children affected by this disease! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
