My name is Mary and I am trying to help out my younger brother. A month ago he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. They are not sure if it has spread through other parts of his body. They are doing CAT scans and biopsies to check all this. He is only 58 and now is unable to work. He has spent the last 8 years at Bellachino's Pizza and Grinders here in Springfield on South Glenstone. He is a valued and dedicated employee who is loved by all, but because of this diagnosis, he is unable to take care of his daily expenses like rent, insurance, food, and gas to get back and forth to treatments and appointments.

Dean has been through a lot. In the last 10 years, we have lost our mother, father, and sister. It is only myself and our other brother Charlie left. I know this is a rough time for all and we understand it’s hard to be able to help everyone, but if you cannot donate, your prayers would be appreciated. A special thanks to his boss Blaine and his wife Janice who have been there to support him through this tough time. Everyone needs an employer who cares this much.
