Help us Help Grandmom/Mom

Donation protected
Hello friends, my name is Joe Johnson, and being that this page is for my mother-in-law I will keep the details of myself brief. I am a father/husband to a beautiful wife and hilarious 20 month little boy and  previously worked in the field of law enforcement for 10 years before relocating my family from NJ to Florida to give them a fresh start in a safer area, so I am currently seeking a new job. We used to live in an area that was not the best and we would constantly run into individuals that were incarcerated in the facility I worked in, but enough about me though, this page is for my mother-in-law Darlene Creazzo who currently works at Christian pre-school. She is an amazing person who I adore and highly respect (don't tell her I said that, I have a reputation to uphold). Her and my father-in-law sold their longtime family home to down-size as to be able to wipe away their debt and retire and enjoy seeing their grandson Joey. They recently helped us make the move, which took 3 days (avg drive time is 18 hours) driving through a non-stop hurricane that moved up the Route 95 corridor as we drove down. When we finally arrived she stayed for only the night, at which time she explained to my wife and I that she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer awhile back and she would be receiving a masectomy in 2 days time and had to fly back. We asked her why she didn't tell us sooner and she replied "I knew if I told you, you would never have moved for my sake." For her to endure this secret for so long and to assist in her grandson moving 1,100 miles away, I can't even describe my pain felt for her. She at this time has under-gone a masectomy of her left breast and is enduring Chemo-therapy. The most painful thing for me as a husband and father is to watch this woman who loves my son so strong fall back into debt. This debt is not just a bill but an obstacle for us, for now her and my father-in-law continue to work to pay these bills(in which she returned 2 weeks after receivng her surgery), and they make excuses about visiting even when we offer to buy their plane tickets with what money we have. They refuse, which I know is due to they have to work to resolve this debt. So all that being said this page was created not only to just "pay a bill", but to assit them with that and to give them life, one which doesn't include the chain of a hospital bill, but includes moments with family and specifically one hilarious little boy. This website says to describe "how thankful you would be", I can't...you can never describe "how thankful you would be" to help someone you love, and that is why I called you all "friends" earlier, cause that what we need, not just a stranger's wallet, we need sincere love, prayers, and your help. I am currently looking for a way to post a video of her receiving the money, so you can actually see result of your generosity.
