The reason for setting up this GoFundMe page is to assist us jump start raising funds for the Michaelshares.org charity. The funds will be used to help with startup cost as well as being able to start to provide help to the causes.
Our wish is to raise money and awareness for different causes that have touched and affected our lives, as well as the many lives/families that these causes have also touched and affected. Whether it be from a disability, disease, or other hardships in their lives.
As our charity progresses, we want to be place for resources, regarding information about these causes and a way for people to show support and encouragement for everyone that has been touched by one or more of these causes. If you have or know someone that has been touched and affected by one of these causes, please let us know your story.
We also plan to spot light a different cause each month and share the story of a person or family from this cause, on Michaelshares.org charity website.
In a partnership with our TimewithMichaelandme YouTube channel, we plan to showcase a person or family from this cause as a way to high light them.
Also the youtube channel will provide a way for kids to learn about (alphabet, number, colors, shapes, about space and planets, some fun experiments that you can try at home also, as well fun activities like Home Depot kids builds, playing with bubbles, to making a homemade wind chime, interacting with insects in our backyard, fun surprises and so much more).
Thank you for taking the time to read about our cause and our needs.
When we make a donation it is personal to us and we would like to hear from people/families that have someone affected with this to be able to add their names to be honored when we make donations, along with being able to share their story.
** As we are new and not very good at building our website, GoFundMe campaigns and mastering YouTube. We are looking for people that would be able to help us. **
Here is a list of the causes and reason behind them.
Muscular Dystrophy
This was the inspiration for our charity.
When I was in 5th grade, I met Michael. We sat near each other, he was in a wheel chair. We started to talk before class got started, and it seemed we were already best friends, even though we just met. As we talked I found out the he had MD, I didn’t know what that meant so he told me. For the rest of the day we spent free time together just talking and getting to know each other. After that we were best friends, and just bonded more and more every day.
For the rest the school year, we were always doing stuff together. If Michael needed help with something I was his second pair of hands. This is not to say that Michael was not able to do most things for himself, I was just assisting me if needed. This is how our friendship just blossomed into being able to know what the other was thinking.
My friendship with Michael is why when he passed away when we were freshmen in high school, I told myself that I would donate 1 million dollars to MD. It’s been 35 sense he passed away and I have not gone a day without remember him or stopped working towards that goal.
When I found out that I was going to be a dad, I told my wife that if we have a boy I wanted to name him Michael in honor of my best friend. This was the first thought of starting a charity, as the process has evolved I thought about the other things that have touched my life and that is why there are the rest of the causes within the charity organization.
My goal is to help others that have been affected with MD and share their stories along with doing what we can to find a cure. So if you know of someone that has in some way been touched by MD and willing to reach out to us we would love to talk and maybe high light you or them on our YouTube channel. Also if you are incline to be able or willing to donate we would greatly appreciate that.
Dyslexia
I am dyslexic and so that is why this is a cause to me, as well as some many people.
Depression
This cause affected both myself and my mother. As with all of these causes it also affects a great many people and sometimes is ends with people taking their lives. For this reason is why i want to help others who suffer with depression so that they can get help and treatment. I know from suffering with depression it is not easy to ask or seek help.
Dementia/Alzheimer’s
My mother was affected with this, as well as some many people. For this reason it is one of our causes. I saw firsthand how this disease affects the person who has it as well as the rest of their family.
Down Syndrome
The reason behind this cause is that my godmother’s daughter (her names is Allison) had this. I only a few memories of her, the one that I remember the most is us kicking a rubber ball off my garage door and us laughing and having so much fun together. I wish I had more memories to share about her. I hope to find if any of her family is still around to share more of her story.
Leukemia
The reason behind this cause is my father’s first wife passed away from this and she had 3 children at the time. They are my oldest sister and two older brothers.
I am not sure the best way to put this into words, other to say that if she had not passed away i may or may not be here today. If I was born, it is almost certain that my life would not be the way it is or that the things that have happened in my life would have happened the way that they have. I am very sorry and sad for my father and older sister and brothers for the loss that they went through. This is why it is a very strong cause for me to be able to do what i can to help those that have also been touched by leukemia in one way or another.
Veterans
The reason for this cause is that my father served in the Navy during World War II. I also was in the Navy, only for a short time, as I am dyslexic and so I was given a legal separation and discharged.
Animals
This causes is to help animals that get affected from disasters, like the fires we have had in the past few years in California as well as flooding in the United State, plus other things that effect animals. I thought about adding this after our family dog Pete passed away this past Easter April 21, 2019.
As we hear or see things that effect animals from a disaster or events we do our part to help them.
Disasters/General Emergency fund
This causes is to help people that get affected from disasters, like the fires we have had in the past few years in California as well as flooding in the United State. As well as other disasters that may happen throughout the world.
As we hear or see things that effect people from a disaster or dramatic events, we will do our part to help them.
