<div>Hello, we are Maureen Graziano and Pamela Burner. We are starting this Go Fund Me on behalf of our beloved friend and board member Chris Pellegrino who is facing unimaginable circumstances.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In June, Chris’s significant other, Anthony, was unexpectedly diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and loss of control over voluntary muscles impacting movement, speech, eating and breathing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since that diagnosis, Anthony’s condition has declined rapidly, and he now requires round-the-clock care. Chris has faithfully stepped into the role of full-time caregiver while continuing to serve as the director of a local family shelter, carrying an immense burden with grace and
</div>
<div>strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Much of the specialized medical care, equipment, and support Anthony needs is not covered by insurance, creating significant emotional and financial strain during an already heartbreaking season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition, Chris is actively seeking reliable caregivers with home health experience and specific experience caring for individuals with ALS to help provide safe, compassionate care for Anthony.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than 18 years, Chris has been a tireless advocate for homeless families in our community. She has lived a life of service—walking alongside families in crisis, offering hope, dignity, and a path toward self-sufficiency. Additionally, she sits on the board of HIS Coalition for the Homeless, a volunteer grassroots non-profit serving the local community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, she is the one in need of that same love and support that she has shown to others.
</div>
<div>Let us come together to lighten this financial burden and surround Chris and Anthony with tangible support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation—no matter the size—will help provide essential care and bring peace during this difficult journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please give as you are able, share this fundraiser widely, and keep Chris and Anthony in your prayers. Together, as a community, we can remind Chris that she is not walking this road alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and prayers.
</div>
