Donate to help Coach Joe & Family

Hi, I’m Gianna Tarantino, Joey’s daughter. My dad went to Jersey Shore hospital for a routine Laryngoscopy on Friday. He’s been experiencing chronic throat swelling. Doctors have not been able to diagnose the cause yet. During the procedure, his throat swelled to the point of blocking his airways, and the surgeon made the decision to perform an emergency tracheotomy. Dad has been in the ICU the last few days, and we thought he was officially in the healing process. Unfortunately, He suffered a significant setback yesterday with uncontrolled bleeding that resulted in another emergency operation. There are a lot of unanswered questions about recovery.

He is the most selfless man I know. He’s known for being the Coach with an uplifting, tender heart. He is a father that would do anything and everything for his children. He is a loving husband and a man who gives of himself for others around him regardless of his own circumstances. My Dad, Mom and siblings, need help with medical and home expenses. Dad is the sole provider and self-employed. This is the opportunity to give back to a man who touches everyone he meets with a warm and welcoming heart. This will allow him the time to rest and heal without worrying about expenses or forcing himself back to work before he’s ready.

We trust in the Lord in every situation and are confident our brothers and sisters in Christ will continue to love on him as Jesus calls us to. I thank you for your love, check-ins, support and prayers.
