Mr. & Mrs. Verteramo Medical Fund

Donation protected
My name is Alyssia Pacileo and my step father, Nicholas Verteramo, was diagnosed with a cancer called Multiple Myeloma back in 2016 and has been battling hard since. When you have Multiple Myeloma, collections of abnormal plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow, where they interfere with the production of normal blood cells. Throughout this process, Nick has had to undergo a brutal back surgery to have titanium plates put in his spine due to deterioration of his vertebrae that the cancer has caused.  Numerous cancer treatments had been done over the last three years and with many ups and downs, Nick has once again relapsed. 

He is currently back in the hospital and undergoing intense chemo and is scheduled to have a treatment done in Boston called CAR T-Cell Therapy. Between the chemo and the treatment in Boston, if all goes well, Nick will remain in the hospital and will be unable to return home until December holiday season. 

Nick is blessed to have such an incredible support system-between his brother and sister-in-law, Dave & Sue Verteramo, as well as his children, Monique, Maxine, and Kurt, and numerous family and friends. My mother, Patti Verteramo, has also been by his side through each and every step and has taken off work to do so.  This has caused her to, once again, take an unpaid leave from work to be by his bedside at the hospital to help him through this battle.  Not getting paid is yet another challenge that these two amazing and selfless people have to endure.  

With your help, I ask that you please consider making a donation in order to help make this difficult process a little easier. The money will be used to help buy groceries, pay medical bills, and to help make Nick as comfortable as possible through his strong fight.

I cannot express how deeply I appreciate your help.  It means so much to me to be able to help my mom and step dad through this hard time. 

Any amount helps! Thank you so very much!
