Support Mike Kelly's Lifesaving Recovery

Please help the Kelly Family ❤❤

Dedicated to decades of selflessly serving both NYPD, retiring as Detective, and his community as a volunteer in the Franklin Square & Munson Fire Department, rising up the ranks to Captain of Engine Co. #1.

Mike Kelly was a first responder on 911 under both capacities for 3+ months.

Mike served on the executive board of the COMMUNITY LEAGUE OF GARDEN CITY SOUTH, a Civic that serves residents & merchants in Franklin Square School District #17. He also served as 1st V.P. of the SONS of Italy America Lodge #2245 for 2 terms.

First & foremost, Mike Kelly is a family man. Married to his wife Marge for nearly 33 years, he's a proud dad of 2 sons, Michael Philip & Christopher. Mike is an adoring Grandpa of his 4 yr old grandson, Killian Caden.

On December 27th, 2023, it was determined that Mike was in dire need of a life sustaining liver transplant.

He received 59 blood transfusions and was hospitalized 9 times, averaging 2 weeks per admission, between 12/27/23 & 6/23/2024. Each time, he received blood transfusions and procedures to stop internal bleeding.

Still through it all, his family & friends held a blood drive in his name to address the shortage of blood. 92 Units replenished the NY blood banks.

On July 12, 2024, a donor match was found, and Mike received a new liver at NYU LANGONE KIMMEL CENTER in Manhattan.

As Mike recovers, the bills are mounting. The unexpected expense for his family traveling to Manhattan to be with him daily, added to the tally.

Now, weekly follow-up visits in the city (tolls & parking), co-pays for lifelong anti-rejection medications , and the additional, soon to start coming medical fees are anticipated anxieties of the Kelly Family.

Mike has given so much, and to give back to him would be amazing.

No amount is too small to lessen the financial load.

If you're unable to contribute, sharing this page is greatly appreciated.

Prayers are always welcome and a huge plus for a full and complete recovery for Mike.

THANK YOU!
