Friends and family,

We have a dear friend that we have known for over 25 years, Joe Pepe who was diagnosed with Glioblastomas July 2022. He has been fighting this cancer over the past year with all his might with the most POSITIVE outlook we have ever seen. As you can imagine it has been a very rough journey to date. Rounds of chemo, radiation, 2 brain surgeries all while attempting to work through it. He recently started a new round of radiation which has been very rough on him and his family both physically and mentally.

After months of deliberation Joe recently went on leave from his job that he has had for over 22 years. He started with Aventura Construction Corp at its beginning and helped to grow the company into what it is today. He has mentored many employees along the way. He has built strong relationships both personally and professionally over the years.

Joe is surrounded with so much love from his beautiful family, a wife Denise who is caring for him daily along with their three children. Their oldest Jake who currently attends Stonybrook University, their middle son Sean who is in High school and their youngest daughter Brooke who is in middle school. Along with many other family members and friends.

We hope we can ALL come together to raise money to help with expensive medical treatments, medical/household bills along with some home modifications that will need to be made. We are hoping to find that this online fundraiser can provide financial relief and allow his family to focus on what matters most during this difficult time. A gift of any amount would mean the world to them.

Please share.

Thank you.
