 Mikey's Fund is named after a very special person, Michaela Hagemann whose parents had nicknamed Mikey. Mikey, born with Downs Syndrome, was in her early forties, far surpassing her anticipated life expectancy. Although Mikey had developed cataracts, doctors were reluctant to perform surgery, due to anticipated limited benefits.
However, when the Hagemanns brought Mikey to Lansing Ophthalmology, Dr. Moore told them that having Mikey enjoy a high quality of life far outweighed any reason not to undergo surgery. Dr. Moore performed cataract surgery on Mikey, and the results helped her enjoy her time through her last days. Mikey passed away in January of 2003.
Mikeys parents James and Pauline called Lansing Ophthalmology and expressed their gratefulness for the difference that the medical treatment had made in Mikeys life. They desired to give something back by making a financial gift to provide eye care for those who could not otherwise afford it.
