Created September 25th, 2022

In June 2022, our  brother Mike Cunningham, a retired NYPD Detective that served in the 68 precinct and patrol services bureau was struck with an unforeseen and debilitating medical emergency that placed him in the hospital. Mike has been battling his illnesses for some time now in Sarasota Florida, where he has resided since his retiring from the NYPD. As I write this, Mike, our brother, is still in the hospital/rehabilitation center, fighting to get stronger, better and back to being the wonderful son, brother, uncle, friend and neighbor that we all know him to be. He has a very long medical journey ahead of him and we are currently trying to get him back to New York for further medical treatment.  He has incurred extensive medical bills and transportation to get him to NY will further add to the expensive that are piling up to get Mike better.

KIM CUNNINGHAM, Organizer

I would like to thank all my concerned friends and family who were so generous. It’s been an ordeal. I was stricken suddenly with an infection which went south suddenly. Sepsis ran rampant through my body. I went into the ER June 6, 2022 in septic shock. Your love, support and prayers sustained me through the multiple surgical procedures, 5 month hospital/rehab stay and at home physical therapy.

I left rehab on October 31, 2022 at 135 pounds, in a wheelchair. I’m Happy to report I’m at 175 now and ambulatory. I walk unassisted now but your love and prayers carried me through the low points. “We take care of our own”.  I was blessed to see this in action through my friends.

I love you all. 

I will continue to get better. I have a few procedures going forward but I have faith I will get through them. I will continue to pay it forward in my own way and show the kindness love you have shown.  

I knew all my friends were of the “pick up the job!” when needed  type. Thank you for proving this to me once again  

I am humbled by your help.   

With love. 

Always. 

Michael Cunningham.
