This page is to help support Mike on his road to recovery as he recovers from his heart surgery. 
People have reached out asking for ways to help support Mike and his daughters, and I set this page up to allow people to come help us. 
The biggest help is going to be ensuring we have heart healthy meals, gift cards for groceries, and spending a day or two with him so his daughters can have time to themselves. If you would like to offer spending time with him, please ask Loren directly. 

This page is run by his daughters, Loren and Aimee, as well as his best friend Tien.

What is the best gift anytime? A Target eGift Card. With no fees and no expiration dates, the real question is: who couldn't use a gift card from Target?

We love this gift because it enables your recipient with endless options and the ability to purchase precisely what they need - no questions asked.
What To Say In Your Card: I thought this might come in handy. I am sending you so much love!

Target - Target Gift Card

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
