“I think Danielle’s passing has spurred something within all of us here at the office and in his group of friends and family to help him in any way possible,” says Caesar Wright, Mako president. He points out that though times are financially difficult for everyone, Mike is now struggling with medical bills and funeral costs in addition to his usual household expenses. By way of help, an account has been set up in Mike's name at Provident Bank to collect funds for this hardship, hopefully lessening the blow and helping him focus on his family.

As a woman just a few weeks away from her 39th birthday, I am stunned and incredibly saddened by the news of Danielle's passing. I can't imagine having to let go of the world at this time in my life, or the intense suffering and loss being experienced by Mike and his family. But ours is an incredibly close-knit and compassionate industry, and I know Mike has lots of loving support from his Mako family. Please, let's all do what we can to assist him through this dark time.
