Emergency funds for Mick’s family

We started this account to try to get some assistance for my brother-in-law and his family.

Mike Jr, and Allison Augustitus from Hazlet New Jersey.

Within the past two weeks thier three year-old son, Mick, started with some headaches.

After several visits to Jersey shore emergency room, they finally did a CT scan revealing the devastating news of brain tumors.

With the news, Mick was transferred to Hackensack, Children’s Hospital ICU cancer unit.

This little guy has been going through vigorous testing to determine more details, what we know as of date is that there are four brain tumors and also for tumors on his spine. Surgery for the spine is not an option as a tumors have invaded his spinal system. We’re still anxiously waiting for that Biopsy to come back.

He has been medically sedated due to his fragile condition .

Dad has been out of work to be with his family. He has burned his personal days and sick time from his job. Mom, is a stay at home mom of Mick and his three young sisters, ages, 1, 5 and 12.

In the meantime, the household bills are beginning to pile up with no end in sight. They are struggling with travel expenses from Hazlet, New Jersey to Hackensack New Jersey, which is quite a distance. They are also struggling to sustain the household expenses with no current income, family and friends have been helping with the girls and helping to run the house as smoothly as possible but it’s not enough.

Whatever you can do to help this young family get through this Devastating and very sad time would be greatly appreciated.

If nothing else prayers are always welcome. On behalf of Mike and Allison, thank you for all your generosity and prayers.

Update: Mick finished his first 3 cycles of chemotherapy, unfortunately Mick's tumors are inoperable at this point so his next 3 cycles of chemotherapy will be very harsh and will include stem cell transplants to help with his recovery. We thank you all so much for the continued support and prayers! Mick is strong and we KNOW he will beat this!!

All our Love,

Mick and the Augustitus Family
