Help Joey and Virginia’s Family of Four Rebuild

We are starting this fundraiser on behalf of my brother, Joey, a hardworking union electrician, his wife Virginia, a frontline worker at Stamford Hospital and their two children; Daughter, 3 years old and Son, just 5 months old - who all endured a life-altering experience this past week.


They lost their entire home and Joey’s vehicle to a flash flood caused by Hurricane Ida in Stamford, Ct. At around 10pm some water from the storm began to build up in the basement and Joey called Virginia to come home early from her nightshift at the hospital, to give him a hand. When she pulled into the driveway not even 20 minutes later, the entire yard was submerged and as the rain poured down more and more water was accumulating.


They were able to race out of the house to safety with their children and are grateful to have their lives and their children’s lives - but they have lost everything else and are devastated! Joeys car is totaled and the house they once called home is unlivable.


Insurance will not cover any of the countless personal possessions they have lost, or a place for these hardworking parents and their two children to live safely. They are completely displaced from the home due to the damage and do not have Joey’s vehicle.


Whatever you can contribute to help them pay for temporary housing, personal property rebuilding and recovery to help get this family back on their feet is greatly appreciated. This will be a long process but every donation will help this family of four rebuild their lives.


Thank you!
