<div>Our dear friend Paul Crescimone is facing one of the hardest seasons of his life—dealing with cancer, multiple musculoskeletal disorders, and frequent hospitalizations due to heart and respiratory issues. These co-existing conditions have not only trapped him in a state of chronic pain, but they have also left him immobile requiring a walker and wheelchair to move. Sadly, Paul's immobility forced him to give up his beloved teaching career, as he could no longer manage the travel to and from school or perform even the most basic duties associated with teaching. As a result, he lost his salary and health insurance. And despite his struggles, Paul has been supporting his son, who is also dealing with health issues and is unemployed. Today, Paul has depleted his entire savings and accrued growing debt to stay afloat. He's borrowed as much as he can and now has no place else to turn to for help. Our goal is to support and empower Paul to<strong> first, immediately stabilize his health</strong>, reduce pain, and get back on cancer and heart medications. <strong> Secondly, begin to improve his health</strong>, enabling him to pursue a path toward financial self-sufficiency and better quality of life for himself and his son.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please read on to learn of Paul’s clear-headed plan to accomplish this. We have faith he will.
