Hi, my name is Rocco Maniaci and I am raising money for a very great friend of mine Nicholas Jones.

Over the last 2 weeks Nick has endured the misdiagnosis of hernia which turned into ruptured appendix. Due to the misdiagnosis the appendix ruptured for 5 days without him knowing, causing major abscess and ileus. He is currently going on his 11th day in the hospital and has had 3 surgeries to remove and drain abscess and toxins but still has been unsuccessful. Nick still needs an appendectomy to remove his appendix in a month after his other surgeries are complete.

Nick has gone through all of these terrible misfortunes prior to his graduation from Saint Joe’s University. These are issues that nobody should face in the best years of their life. We are collecting funds to help with Nick’s medical bills, possible hospital transfers, and surgery expenses.

We would like to personally thank you in advance for all of the well wishes and prayers during this tough time. Any kind of financial help would be greatly appreciated to help Nick fight through the road to recovery. We are hoping for a speedy and healthy recovery of the guy we all know and love!
