Angelo Needs A Pellet Stove, He's Coming Home!
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Kristen Zimmer and I am trying to urgently help dear friends of ours from back home in NY where we grew up. Some of you may remember me telling you of a tragic story of friends of Christopher's and mine; their son, Angelo Sibio, only 11 years old April 17 2022 when he attempted to take his own life and narrowly survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This tragedy occurred as a result of several years of elementary school and social media/video gaming cyber bullying. He has fought gallantly over the past 20 months to not just come out of a vegetative state but to also convince Doctors that he had the potential to regain some function again.
Thankfully, his older brother Kyle was home and was able to apply pressure to the wound until paramedics could arrive; and is credited with saving his life. His mother, Melissa Sibio has never left his side, not one day; staying with him throughout his entire several months long hospital stay and now during his entire rehabilitative stay in NYC where he currently is and has been the past year now, I believe. Never giving up, she and Dave (Dad, who comes up every chance he can) have helped Angelo fight to regain motor, sensory and cognitive function enough to now be DISCHARGED to home DECEMBER 20th 2023!
They have had a separate Go Fund Me Page set up the entire time of Angelo's care for things like medical bills, Dave's travel and hotels every weekend, and now the costs of having to entirely renovate the first floor of their home so it's equipped for Angelo's extensive medical and ambulatory needs. Unfortunately, a few days ago, their heat source, a huge pellet stove died and they cannot bring Angelo home to a house that is not heated in Central/Upstate NY in the winter! I am setting up this additional Go Fund Me page in the hopes that my family and friends will help me raise the $5,000 the Sibios need to buy them a brand-new pellet stove urgently, so Angelo can come home as planned in less than 3 weeks!

I have also told many of you about Melissa as she is an amazing Reiki Instructor/Master and Animal Communicator and I have witnessed her help numerous people all over the world with their animals, find missing animals and communicate with those that have crossed over. She has helped Chris and I with our own dogs. If you are interested in learning more about her business, you can visit http://www.waterfallreikiandanimaltalk.com
I want to thank you all for your time in reading through this. Please keep Angelo, Melissa and Dav Sibio in your prayers.
