Help Kathy's family

Donation protected
As Joe's older brother, I am reaching out to help him and his family, after the sudden and devastating loss of his wife Kathy.  

Kathy recently passed away Monday, May 3rd, after losing a month long battle to COVID. She was one of the kindest most compassionate and loving persons we were honored to have in our family. She was a fierce and unrelenting advocate for their two boys, Austin and Dylan, in their struggle with autism and their special needs.

Joe and Kathy's 30 year marriage was strongly held together by their huge love for one another and their unabashed love and commitment to care for their two boys. They tirelessly and selflessly gave most of their time and energy to support their boys, always putting themselves second to their boy's needs.

Kathy was the primary financial provider and now with her passing, it will be a daunting task for Joe to financially handle this sudden change to becoming a single-income parent. This situation has exposed a significant shortfall in their needed funds.

What this fundraising will help cover includes:

1. Lost income from Kathy.
2. Kathy's uncovered Hospital and Medical bills.
3. Breaking the current lease in order to move to a smaller, less expensive apartment.. 
4. Paying first and last month's rent, of a smaller apartment in Bucks County (in order to continue to receive Autism care services).
5. Moving costs 
6. Kathy's cremation and Funeral services.

We expect some receiving this request could have their own financial challenges to deal with. I can only ask that you consider a $5, $25, or a $100 contribution. This will make a huge difference in my brother's situation. 

Thank you to everyone who took the time to read this and any future contribution. This will help Joe and his family make this necessary transition to this unexpected new chapter in their lives.


My thanks to all,

Jack
