Hello, this is Jared, Samantha, and Logan Messina. Our parents are Randy and Karen Messina. Many people in Chicopee know my parents and they know that they would give them the shirt off their back if needed. In fact, mom and dad would give even when they have little to nothing to give.

The reason we're reaching out is in October, our dad sustained an injury at work which herniated two discs in his neck and two discs in his back. The insurance company is fighting the insurance claim. This whole thing has been going on for 7 months, but my dad has been without an income or anything for the past three months now. Eventually, once he wins the case, he will get retro, but that doesn't help us right now.

My dad took it upon himself to use his own medical benefits to schedule a procedure on his back and surgery on his neck. We're just looking for a little financial help to help them get past these troubled times. Anything you can give would be greatly appreciated and go towards the household bills. If you can't donate, just sharing would be great. Thank you so much for your understanding and help. Our parents would greatly appreciate it..
