Andrea Pappas Camuto & Baby Blake

Dear friends, family, TV/film community members and Hoboken Mommies,

Andrea (Pappas) Camuto, our dear friend and loved one, has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer. Last month, Andrea was a seemingly healthy pregnant woman preparing to start her journey as a new mom. However, she was admitted to Hackensack University Medical Center on October 5, 2018, while experiencing back pain and difficulty breathing. She has been fighting for her life every minute since she was admitted that day. 

Shortly after Andrea was admitted to the hospital, she and her family had to make the difficult decision to deliver baby Blake early at 28 weeks, to allow for Andrea to start her treatment. Her cancer was too aggressive to wait. He was born healthy on October 13, 2018, the day that her baby shower had originally been planned. Baby Blake has been thriving in the NICU for the past 4 weeks, and now weighs over four pounds.

I cannot begin to count the memories, days, nights, meals, cocktails, coffees and conversations that I have shared with Andrea, there are just too many. Those of you that know Andrea know that she is a thoughtful, genuine, good person and a true friend. She always helps before being asked, wipes your tears away before you know you are crying, and she makes things happen before you know that they even need to happen.

Now Andrea needs our help.

Please consider donating to this GoFundMe account to help offset the cost of Andrea and Blake’s present and future care. Please also continue to keep Andrea, Chris, Blake and their families in your prayers.

Thank you!
