Hi, as many of you know.. my name is Kristin. I am raising funds for my little brother, Michael.

very suddenly Michael had a quick decline in health and ended up in the ER. He was transferred from Staten Island to Mt Sinai hospital in Manhattan.

On June 17th, michaels health took a turn for the worst, with many organs seeming to fail and trouble breathing. He was monitored closely with numerous tests being ran in him.

On June 18th, Michael was at his worst and needed to be intubated. Shortly after that, we all got news that would change us all forever.

Our Michael, my little brother has leukemia. As well as possible liver failure, with the need of a transplant.

None of us ever expected any of this.

What we do know is this will be a long journey to recovery. Leukemia treatments and a long hospital stay.

My mom, Dawn and step dad, Mike- the warriors that they are. I’m sure will be by his side the entire time. They are not ones to ask for help, that’s why I’m here!

I’m sure my mom will be missing many hours from work to attend to Michaels needs! The travel back and forth from Staten island(home) to the city will also take a toll on them financially. Along with meals while they are with Michael.

and most important any unexpected medical expenses that may arise in this journey.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated. And please, please keep Michael in your prayers!!!
