Monte's Mountain of Support
Donation protected
In early January, Monte brought my niece to the doctor for a routine check-up and was reminded by a nurse to schedule his first screening test for colorectal cancer. A few weeks later he was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, bringing our lives to a halt.
He and Bridgette had been prepared for some change in 2023, with Bridgette starting a new job at the same nonprofit, and baby Rose preparing for daycare this spring. However, Monte's diagnosis has allowed little time for processing and planning anything beyond the next doctor's appointment, oftentimes with no more than 24 hours of notice, impacting his ability to work and watch Rose.
I'm starting this GoFundMe page in hopes of helping Monte & Bridgette get by with some basic needs like groceries and monthly expenses as well as to help with his quickly mounting medical bills. We will also use the platform to provide updates on Monte's treatment and recovery along the way.
These last few weeks have felt like a frantic sprint to nail down diagnosis and treatment, but the reality is we have a marathon ahead of us. Any help you can provide is beyond appreciated by the Cimino and Pagano families.
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely,
Adam
