Welcome to our #Live4Michael website. This site was created due to the huge request from our GREAT community looking for a way to continue to support our warrior Michael Alcayaga, who lost his courageous battle with leukemia in May 2014. Throughout this site you will be able to learn about who Michael was, see how he inspired a community, but most of, you will find ways to help other children currently battling all types of cancer by purchasing from our online store.

Our Live4Michael slogan came from our original campaign of "Pray4Michael". Shortly after Michael was diagnosed in August 2013, the hashtag "#Pray4Michael" started appearing all over social media with messages of encouragement and love. After Michael passed, his classmates instantly changed their message to "#Live4Michael" and since then, we have seen an outpouring of support with this tag. To live for Michael means something different to everyone: for some it means living each of life's moments to the fullest, for others it means making good choices. Everybody intereprets this message differently, it's up to you what you want to make of it.

Along the top of this page you will find various links:

  • MICHAEL'S JOURNEY- Here you will find a bit more about Michael's journey with leukemia, and how hard he battled.

Expenses no family should have to worry about when they have bigger concerns. We would like to help these families by purchasing gift cards to help wherever needed...groceries, gas, a quick bite out to escape hospital life...all expenses we know first hand that can add up quickly.

Please take a moment to look around and learn about our special boy!
