Michael L. Pinard Fundraiser

On behalf of our extended family, I am honored to assist with this critical fundraiser for my nephew, Michael L. Pinard, his extraordinary wife Sandra, and their two beautiful children; Riley (4) and Molly (1). Michael is a hard-working, dedicated family man who cares deeply for his family. Michael's bright spirit and sense of humor light up any room he enters. He is an amazing son, husband, father, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, and friend.

On June 4th, 2023, Michael underwent a liver transplant at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. His recovery so far has included multiple follow-up surgeries and procedures, kidney support utilizing dialysis, and many adjustments within his care, which has required him to still be in the intensive care unit. At this time, his length of stay is still unknown, however, following his much-anticipated return home to his family, his medical care will remain demanding for months to come including appointments, therapies, and regular trips back to Boston.

Between prior and future medical and travel expenses, coupled with the care required for their son Riley (4) with Congenital Muscular Dystrophy, the expectations are overwhelming.

With the support from both of their employers, Michael has been out of work since the beginning of May from his full-time position in auto sales with an unknown return to work date and Sandra’s full-time position in Radiology has been and will be impacted for the near future. We can think of no more worthy cause than helping this young family through what is expected to be a lengthy recovery. Thank you in advance for your consideration as any amount contributed will be truly appreciated. If you are unable to donate, we ask for your continued thoughts and prayers.
