Hi my name is Anastasia and I'm starting this gofundme for my friend Mike Polson.

Mike has been the heart and soul of his small gallery and picture framing business in picturesque Cornwall for the past decade. Working solo, he finds joy in crafting stunning frames and sharing laughs with his loyal customers—many of whom have become friends. With his partner Emma and three kids (two off navigating university life and a spirited 15-year-old still at home), life is a delightful mix of chaos and charm.

However, this past year Mike has been thrown a curveball. After being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes back in January, a series of scans revealed complications that now require major surgery, which will put him out of commission for at least six months. To make matters worse, his serious illness insurance won’t cover his specific condition, leaving him facing the grim reality of potentially losing everything he has built.

This GoFundMe campaign is not just about keeping a dream alive—it’s a lifeline to help Mike survive this crisis and ensure he can continue to provide for his family. Join us in supporting Mike as he fights to recover and safeguard the wellbeing of his loved ones. Every contribution counts and makes a difference during this challenging time!
