Michael is a caring, loving, funny, charming, and a social 12 year old. He loves playing on the Xbox, and playing soccer and football on the floor with his younger brother. He loves the Bruins, Patriots, and the New England Revolution soccer team. He enjoys hanging out with his friends and collecting football cards.
For the past eight years, Michael has been undergoing numerous surgical procedures by the world renowned Dr. Dror Paley who specializes in limb lengthening and deformities to help to straighten his legs so that he can walk. However he will still need to use a wheelchair for mobility throughout his life. He gets physical therapy twice a week to help him stand and walk on his own. He still prefers to roll on the floor to get around faster. He has a power wheelchair that he uses for school.
As you can imagine, there are many expenses related to Michael’s condition that are not covered by insurance and must be paid out of pocket. So of these are co-pays, deductibles, our numerous ongoing trips back and forth to The Paley Institute in Florida and our relocation expenses while we are there. This is putting our family up against a challenge we no longer can meet alone and need your help.
To help with the financial burden of Michael’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Northeast Catastrophic Illness Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for illness-related expenses only.

Michael has always wanted to be treated just like everybody else, and never feel different. He will always have some struggles and challenges, but he always gets through them. We are so very proud of the young man that he has turned out to be.
On behalf of Michael and our family, thank you in advance for your kindness, generosity, support and prayers.

Michael had another leg surgery on June 8, 2016 to take out the metal plates in his legs. By June 10th he was off all pain medications and was asking if his friend Thomas could sleep over. I told him I think it is a little too soon and possibly next week. And by the fourth day after surgery he was rolling around on the floor to get around. Doctors orders was no standing or walking for 2 weeks. He is really starting to feel back to himself again. He actually went swimming yesterday and had such a great time. I am so glad he is feeling better and back to his happy self.
