Help Dana Recover from Two Strokes and Embrace a New Chapter

Story

Hi, my name is Shannon, and I am reaching out on behalf of my husband, Dana Sciandra, the most loving and devoted father to our two young children, ages 4 and 7. To our kids, Dana isn’t just their dad—he’s their Batman, their hero. This holiday season brought an unexpected and life-altering challenge to our family. Dana suffered two strokes that left us shaken and terrified. Shortly after, he was diagnosed with diabetes—a diagnosis that will require a complete lifestyle overhaul to protect him from future health complications. While Dana is on the path to recovery, the journey is far from over. He continues to experience vision and balance issues, which make day-to-day life more difficult, but his determination and love for our family inspire us every single day. Dana’s greatest motivation is to get back to playing with our children, laughing and running alongside them like he used to. The financial burden of this situation has been overwhelming. Between medical bills, physical therapy sessions, multiple medications, and ongoing care from specialists such as neurologists, cardiologists, and endocrinologists, the costs will continue to mount. Additionally, we are navigating new expenses for diabetes management tools and healthy food options to support his recovery. We’re asking for your help to lighten this load and allow Dana to focus on healing. Your generosity will directly contribute to covering these unexpected costs and giving our family the support we need to navigate this difficult time. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for any help you can provide. Whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing this page with others, your kindness means the world to us. With gratitude, Shannon Sciandra
