My daughter, Melissa, has suffered with juvenile diabetes since she was 8 years old, 42 years now.  Her husband, Joe, my hero, donated a kidney to her many years ago but it is now failing . She is on dialysis, is bed ridden and can no longer work.

Due to COVID19 restrictions Joe had to quit his job to stay home to care for her.
They are really struggling to survive on COVID relief, unemployment and the few dollars  her family can contribute.  Any funds raised will be used to provide for in-home health care, transportation, food, rent and other daily needs.  Melissa and our family will be extremely and forever grateful.

From Sister Linda Patch:
Joe Patch  I can't believe you're 50! Getting to 20 was tough, but Melissa Patch  saved your life, than you saved hers. She loved you to health. You gave her one of your Kidney's. Together you Two Are Unstoppable.  Oh, how proud I am of the Amazing Man, Husband, Brother and friend you Are.
