Support Mike Van Lake’s organ transplant journey

Donation protected
UPDATE:
Thank you to everyone for your support during this difficult time. We are heartbroken to share that although Mike fought hard, he was not able to gain enough strength to receive the life-saving transplant he needed. Mike passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends. Your generous donations will be used to establish trusts for his three children, Morgan, Chase and Kenzi.

Hi, we are the Day and Van Lake families raising money for Mike Van Lake's current medical expenses as he was recently hospitalized. We received unfortunate news that Mike will need an organ transplant. Since this news, we as a family have all joined together to support Mike in any and all ways possible. However, this journey that Mike has been on, has been especially challenging financially as Mike had recently lost his job last October. Mike has three young children ages 8, 12, and 14. As we continue this journey with Mike we are attempting to seek outside sources for any help possible. Any help that you can provide for the Van Lake family is extremely appreciated. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity. Please keep Mike, his children, and his family in your prayers, as he and ourselves continue to fight.
