Detroit is rallying around the family of Mikey Brown, a respected business owner and community leader, following his recent passing. In response, The Maintenance Bar has launched a GoFundMe campaign under its new initiative, Lifted in LUV, aimed at providing immediate financial support and ensuring the wellbeing of Brown’s children.
Honoring a community pillar
Mikey Brown was more than a local entrepreneur; he was a pillar of Detroit’s community, known for his dedication to families, youth, and neighborhood development. His sudden departure has left a void felt deeply by friends, neighbors, and colleagues alike. The Lifted in LUV initiative channels community support directly to his children, helping safeguard their education, growth, and future opportunities while celebrating the impact Brown had on the city.
The lifted in LUV initiative
Lifted in LUV is part of The Maintenance Bar’s broader mission to empower communities through youth development and entrepreneurship. By focusing on family-centered support and collaborative programs, the initiative strengthens local networks while nurturing the next generation of leaders.
The GoFundMe campaign provides a platform for donations that will be applied directly to Brown’s children’s needs, from educational resources to everyday essentials. Contributors are encouraged to participate not only financially but also by spreading awareness and fostering engagement within the Detroit community.

Tania B., Founder and Creative Director of The Maintenance Bar, is leading the campaign. She emphasizes that Lifted in LUV is about more than donations; it is a movement to demonstrate communal care and uphold the legacy of individuals who dedicated their lives to strengthening neighborhoods. Through her guidance, the initiative ensures that funds and support are distributed effectively, honoring Brown’s values and vision.
