Hello, my name is Jeff O'Donnell and I am writing this on behalf of my dear friend Nick Gaudiano, known as Coach G - long-time throwing coach for Hazleton Area School District.

In 2007, Nick's wife Janie (Feaster Gaudiano) was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After multiple chemo treatments over the years that were successful, Janie was in and out of remission and fighting every day to overcome her cancer. Just this past year, unfortunately, Janie's health took a different turn. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in addition to the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Nick, being the loving husband and family man he is, has dedicated himself to care for Janie the best he can.

With bills in excess due to missed time at work for Nick, high prescription costs, and gas for back and forth for hospital visits, this has affected Nick and his family. Any help would be greatly appreciated and go towards easing the pain for the Gaudiano family.
