Donate to Pete's Healing from Multiple Strokes

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate strangers,

URGENT: We’re sounding the alarm for Pete — a 56-year-old Marine veteran, devoted father, and the rock of his family — who is now in the fight of his life.

Pete has suffered five debilitating strokes, leaving him with limited speech and partial paralysis. He’s also battling a dangerous combination of atrial fibrillation, elevated white blood cell counts, and pancreatitis — a life-threatening combination that continues to compromise his fragile health every day.

Hes been an amputee since 2020, Pete has never stopped pushing forward for his family, including his special needs daughter, despite overwhelming adversity. But now, he’s hospitalized hundreds of miles from home, and urgently needs transfer to a rehab facility to begin recovery. Every moment without proper rehabilitation risks permanent damage — or worse.

Medical bills are skyrocketing, and his family is straining to cover costs for travel, care, and basic necessities. They’ve stood by Pete through everything — now they need our help to keep standing.

This is a critical moment.
We’re asking for any donation — no matter the size — to help ease the crushing financial burden and ensure Pete gets the care he desperately needs.

If you’re unable to donate, we ask from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and for sharing this plea. Your support — in any form — truly makes a difference.

With deep gratitude,
Lisa Damato
(On behalf of the Greenstein, Harvey, Ashley, and Damato families)
