Today, I had my 3rd bone marrow biopsy. My doctor said we should have the biopsy report by end of next week. We have sent all our records to the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland and are still praying they take us in.

Thanks for visiting our Indiana Jones family wish page!
My brother, Mike, his son, Conor (pictured left), and his family are in serious need of help!
A multi-systemic, undiagnosed disorder has impacted Mike and Conor's health. And just when you think a family can't endure more sad news, his 10-year-old daughter, Makenna, was found to have a small frontal brain tumor/lesion.
This whole ordeal has taken a toll on not only their health, but also their financial situation. With this website, the goal is to help buy my brother
and his family time to heal, to give his family breathing room and to help pay for
some of their medical needs so they can continue to work toward a definite diagnosis and find a cure. Maybe enough could be raised to get them into a specialty clinic to get this thing diagnosed once and for all.
Mike and Conor are both still undiagnosed and their illness has rapidly progressed. Mike's insurance does not cover Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic - or any out of state clinic for that matter. They need help!
Mike is a father of three great children, Conor, Payton, and Makenna. He has an amazing wife named Tammy. Tammy does in-home daycare, which allows her to take Mike and Conor to/from doctors and hospitals on a regular basis.
Our brother is a wonderful man who makes a huge difference in this world. Since he was a little boy, Mike has been a very generous person with the many talents he has to offer.
At age 8, he'd visit the old folks in the neighborhood and play cards with them -- giving some lonely old women smiles and happiness. He worked with special needs students for 13 years while living in the Twin Cities -- spending countless hours of his own time taking those kids to Minnesota Twins games, fishing trips, bowling, and more. He volunteered his time in church, sharing his music skills and his love for people. After moving to Indiana, Mike and his family share their time and love with the elderly at a local nursing home. Mike volunteers to DJ for events benefiting the Cancer society, American Heart association and at local schools.
My brother and his family would give the shirts off their back to help anyone. Mike always says, "a lot of a little changes the world."
If everyone clicks on the "How Can We Help" link and does just a
little, we can help Mike to keep his house, feed his family, take care of his utility bills, and -- most importantly -- get Mike and Conor to the right doctors who can help them get answers so they can work toward getting their life back.
Thank you for visiting and thank you for your help!

"People say God doesn't give us more
than we can handle. God must think our family can move mountains with
our bare hands. If you look closely with human eyes, I am sure the
calluses on our hands would be easy to see.
God clearly has a different plan than I expected for my life."
