Hello Everyone,

Happy Holidays - we hope this message finds you and your loved ones healthy and well.

We are writing on behalf of the Russo family in Caserta, Italy, whose fifteen-year-old daughter Chiara is presently battling for her life with thoracic cancer. The doctors in Italy have told the Russos there are no further treatments available, however, the Russos are embarking upon a journey to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC to seek medical intervention from specialists who may be able to save Chiara's life.

It is unclear how long Chiara may have - but her family and community are committed to trying everything they can to help her survive. As you can imagine, an international trip and stay in NYC will place quite a financial burden on the family during this already challenging time. It is for this reason that we are asking those who may be able to contribute to this GoFundMe campaign to show their support to the Russos in their time of need.

We are hoping to reach the goal of $20,000 to offset living expenses for the family while Chiara receives treatment in NYC. No amount is too small, and if you are unable to contribute, please consider sharing this link with your family, friends, and colleagues.

Thank you. God Bless.
