Support for Diana and children
Donation protected
On Sunday, February 14th, tragedy struck Diana Russo and her family. She lost not only her partner in life, but she lost the father of her two small children, Joey, 6 years old, and Juliana, 10 months old.
This past week began like any typical week for the family. Mike had some ongoing pain for a couple of months, but he was under the impression that he was having issues with his back. On Tuesday, the pain became agonizing, and he went to the hospital. The doctors ran tests, and multiple masses were discovered. A biopsy revealed the worst: stage IV esophageal cancer that had spread throughout his body. The family received this devastating news within two days of his initial visit. On Thursday, Mike had a stroke, and by Sunday, the unthinkable occurred: Mike was gone. He will never again have the chance to tell his family he loved them; he will never again be able to kiss his babies goodnight.
Diana must now pick up the pieces of her broken family and hold herself together for her two children. She is now their sole provider and sole source of comfort. There are no words for the tragedy of this situation and no words to comfort Diana through this terrible ordeal. We hope to provide help for the costs that her family now faces due to these tragic circumstances. Your love and support for Diana and her children is so appreciated. Thank you, and all our love.
**update**
The evidence of the severity of the situation has become quite clear. With no life insurance, it is nearly impossible to live in NJ on one salary. We want to help ease the burden of finances so Diana can focus on the children and moving forward as a single parent. Please help in any way. Even just a share of the page! Thank you! ♥️♥️
