Hope for gram and dude
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Nicholas. during my crisis, I came to realize my coming back to my grandparent's house was a blessing disguised as a tragedy. As my situation gets better theirs is getting worse. As many of you may know my grandparents aren't aware of the problem. David also known to many as Dude a US Navy veteran and cop for 20 years has been diagnosed with blood cancer, and recently found out he has 2 blood clots that have formed in his leg, and my grandmother Elaine has a rare bone disease in her ankle and arthritis in her spine making it very difficult for her to walk and even move. I do not have the resources to help out financially which is what they need most. helping out around the house just simply isn't enough. As I have a family to take care of from afar at the moment and no vehicle it is very difficult for me to return to a stable job and money is only trickling in. I do not need the help as much as they do because soon I will be returning to work and purchasing a second vehicle so I may have transportation. my grandfather's medication is currently estimated to be $25000, as well as their reverse mortgage payments for the house which they will eventually have taken away from them by the bank. I think a fine start to help is $2000. it doesn't seem like it will put a dent but any charity is better than none and it will certainly help them pay for essentials. I know in my heart that many of you will jump to the occasion and I'm also aware of the state of the world and its financial situation so sharing will be just as sufficient as a donation. I encourage everyone who has ever had the pleasure of knowing them or has come to their house to please help as they have selflessly helped others and given many beautiful memories to look back on.
I am eternally grateful to anyone who has even read this far. find it in your hearts to support two beautiful people who have opened their homes and loving arms to many, It pains me to even ask this of everyone and I'm ashamed I can't do more for them, but I will never give up. God bless
Sincerely, Nicholas J Paolillo
