Dad’s Road to Recovery

My dad Sean Raimo is only 53. An outstanding member of the medical community with over 30 years of service in Emergency Medicine,      his role as a caregiver has been flipped. 

Dad recently suffered a major heart attack. 

The wonderful medical team at Waterbury     Hospital said if he waited a few more minutes, my brother Ethan and I would have lost our     dad. He needed an emergency stent and             quadruple bypass all in the same week... so       severe. 

He has served as an ER nurse at Waterbury    Hospital, Midstate Medical Center, Bradley    Memorial, and now cares for the kids at Ana   Grace school grades K-5. He was a paramedic  for Campion Ambulance and a combat medic   for the National Guard. My father is truly                   incredible. He received a Nightingale Award     for Nursing Excellence and worked tirelessly    throughout the COVID epidemic... he caught    COVID-19 at work and was in ICU for weeks. 

Anyone who knows my dad says what a             wonderful, funny, lighthearted, incredibly          smart caregiver he is. Now he’s on the other      side and needs help. 

Any little bit would help pay off some of my     dad’s medical expenses. We’re trying to get     him on his feet, but healing isn’t linear. It takes a lot for us to ask for help, and any kindness is appreciated. 

Thank you for supporting my daddy, and              giving back to a pillar of the medical                      community after years of dedicated service.

Sincerely and Gratefully, 

Becca Raimo
