Help Support Michelle Burkett’s Fight Against A Rare And Aggressive Cancer
Some people spend their whole lives searching for the kind of love that Dave and Michelle Burkett have shared for decades. Anyone who knows them has seen it; the quiet devotion, the laughter, the partnership built over years of raising a smart quick-witted son, two beautiful daughters and welcoming their first granddaughter into the world. Their family is the heart of everything they do.
A few months ago, their world changed in an instant.
During what should have been routine blood work, Michelle received news no family is ever prepared for: she was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer. She has already begun treatment, and while she is fighting with incredible strength and grace, the emotional and financial weight of this battle is overwhelming. Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), unfortunately, has an average survival time of only 5 years, even with early detection and treatment.
Dave is the kind of person everyone counts on; the cheerful, easygoing guy who shows up for anyone who needs him. He’s the first to lend a hand, crack a joke, or brighten a room. He always thinks of others first and himself last. Now, he and Michelle are facing something no one can shoulder alone.
Despite their determination to stay strong for their family, the cost of Michelle’s treatment has become a heavy financial burden. Between medical bills, travel for care, and the day to day expenses of supporting their family, the strain is growing quickly.
This is where we can step in.
If Dave has ever made you smile, helped you out, or simply reminded you that good people still exist, now is the time to return that kindness. Every donation, no matter the size, brings relief, hope, and breathing room to a family that truly deserves it.
Michelle is fighting with everything she has. Dave is standing by her side with the same unwavering love he’s shown since the day they met. Let’s surround them with the support they’ve always given others.
Thank you for helping this incredible family during the hardest chapter of their lives. We know this battle is going to be tough, but hopefully with some help, we can make the time they have left together full of memories, laughter, and as much love and happiness as possible.
