Labor of Love - Lupo Family

Michael Lupo is our miracle. From the day he was born he had to fight to live. He was born with multiple complex heart defects and other congenital anomalies. He has had numerous heart surgeries and many life threatening/long term complications from them. He spent the first two and half years of his life constantly in and out of the hospital. He continues to battle through despite the odds and still has many challenges ahead of him to face. The greatest gift is that anyone who meets him is greeted with his beaming brown eyes and beautiful smile; no one would know how hard he has fought to live. Michael’s parents, Melissa and Michael, have health insurance that requires them to pay a quite substantial out of pocket sum, including uncovered expenses such as prescriptions, therapies and various medical devices. Because of the seriousness of his condition and constant surgical interventions this out of pocket expense has and will be a necessary yearly expense. The funds raised by LOL will help pay for medical bills and necessary medical devices for Michael. As Michael's condition leaves him vulnerable to various illnesses, it is necessary to provide private in home physical, occupational and speech therapies.
