BREVARD COUNTY • FLORIDA — In times of need, a community’s strength is often measured by the love and support it offers to one of its own. This sentiment holds true for Michael Clenaghan, affectionately known to many as ‘Koot,’ a beloved figure in the local hospitality industry.

Michael recently underwent an unexpected triple bypass surgery, a critical procedure that, while successful, has left him facing a challenging recovery period.

Michael’s road to recovery is expected to take anywhere from three to five months, during which he will be unable to work. With mounting medical expenses and daily living costs to cover, his close friends and supporters have come together to ease his financial burden during this difficult time.

One of Michael’s best friends, Katrina, has spearheaded a fundraising effort to assist him in covering hospital bills, medication, and essential living expenses. Without insurance, the costs of his hospital stay and post-operative care have added up quickly, making community support all the more vital.

“Anything helps Mike out 100%, and he is beyond grateful to just still be here with his family and all of his friends,” Katrina shared. “We’re asking for a little bit of help to support him while he’s down and out for a little bit.”

Michael has touched the lives of many through his work and friendships, and now, those who know and love him are coming together to return the kindness he has always shown to others. The outpouring of support so far has been overwhelming, with friends, colleagues, and community members stepping up to contribute in any way they can.

For those who wish to support Michael during his recovery, donations are being collected to help supplement his medical and financial needs. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a significant difference in helping him get back on his feet.

The local community has always been known for its generosity, and this moment is a true testament to the compassion and care that exists within it. With continued support, Michael will not have to face this journey alone, but rather with an army of friends and well-wishers rallying behind him.
