Laura's Birthday wish for her brother Vinny O

Donation protected
It's my birthday month!!! And I want to give away my birthday wish this year to my brother, Vinny. He doesn't know it yet, but he will. His birthday is soon too. Most of you know the story and some of you do not. Six years ago, I sat at my brother's bedside as he was given the worst news of his life, Cancer. Vinny underwent 11 surgeries and rounds of chemo, while the doctors gave him a 5-10% chance of survival. We all came together and held one heck of a fundraiser that helped tremendously with the piles of hospital bills he accumulated. Through prayers and God's mercy, Vinny made it through. This past year, Vinny has been battling for his life once again. Cancer destroys more than your health. It destroys you financially. Vinny lost his home, his business, his new job because he can no longer work, he (we) lost Dad, Donna, & Mom, his 2 best friends (Bob and Sierra-his dogs) and more. After filing for disability, they took away $10,000 due to an overpayment issue from his first bout with cancer, leaving him with a small amount to live on monthly. Those who know Vinny know that if you needed a place to stay, his door was open, if you had nowhere to go for a holiday, his door was open, a place to just stop by, he always lent you an ear to listen. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. My brother's bills are growing daily, he can't work due to his health, his labs are not getting better, he may be looking at more chemo and some immunotherapy therapy, God willing. He is too proud to ask for help. Vinny is the strongest person I know, my hero. I love my brother so much and I need him. So here I am, once again, asking FRIENDS OF VINNY O'S (along with my friends) to find it in your hearts to please help me give my brother a great surprise. To give him a gift to catch up on some bills so he can focus on healing. Romans 12:13 "SHARE WITH THE LORD'S PEOPLE WHO ARE IN NEED. Practice hospitality". I love you all.
