On Thursday, July 3rd, our beloved Joe Belgio experienced a severe cardiac event. The exact cause is still unknown at this time. This unexpected medical crisis has profoundly affected his family and livelihood, and Joe is now on life support, bravely fighting for his life.

Joe has always been a man dedicated to service—an ex-Marine and firefighter who has devoted his life to protecting others and serving his country. He completed a courageous tour of duty in Iraq, demonstrating unwavering loyalty and heart every step of the way. Joe has always been the first to lend a hand when help is needed.

He is a cherished father, fiancé, son, brother, and friend. Joe and Melanie are the proud parents of a beautiful 7-month-old baby girl, Carmela. Being her dad brings him immense joy, and he now needs our collective support to ensure a bright future for her and his family.

As you can imagine, the emotional and financial burden is significant. We have created a GoFundMe page to assist with Joe’s ongoing medical care and to support his young family during this challenging time.

If you feel inspired to help—whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply by sharing the link—we are incredibly grateful. Every gesture means the world to us.

✨ Please keep Joe in your thoughts and prayers. We believe in the healing power of community to carry us through this difficult period. ✨

With heartfelt thanks,

Melanie, Carmela, and the Belgio Family
