Aid Tim Balistreri's Journey to Recovery

Donation protected
Hi everyone! This is Viana Gerke, and I am trying to raise funds to help my brother, Tim Balistreri, who had a stroke about 5 months ago that has pretty much confined him to a bed. The stroke affected his right side, and while he is making slow progress in walking, he has very limited use of his right arm. His speech has improved quite a bit, but his thought processes have been affected. Tim lived in Arizona with our brother Frank up until the stroke. He is now in an assisted care facility because Tim needs 24-hour care. Tim only has Social Security and Medicare, which helps with the medical bills and only part of the cost of the facility. My family has been picking up the cost of the facility, but it is beginning to be very expensive for all of us to help. I am reaching out to you in hopes that maybe we can help Tim to continue to get the help he needs to live as comfortably as he can under the circumstances. I know money is tight for all of us, but any amount will help. Thank you so much for listening. Love you all.
