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.
Again, 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, here on our website.
In a partnership with timewithmichaelandme youtube channel we plan to showcase a person or family from this cause as a way to high light them.
Also the timewithmichaelandme 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).
We have also set up a GoFundMe page Michaelshares to assist us in raising money to get things going for our charity. If you can and are able to please help us to by donating, we would really appreciate that.
Here is information regarding leukemia.
Leukemia begins in a cell in the bone marrow. The cell undergoes a change and becomes a type of leukemia cell. Once the marrow cell undergoes a leukemic change, the leukemia cells may grow and survive better than normal cells. Over time, the leukemia cells crowd out or suppress the development of normal cells. The rate at which leukemia progresses and how the cells replace the normal blood and marrow cells are different with each type of leukemia.

Thank you for taking the time to read about the reason for this cause.
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.
