Parrillo's Posse...YeeHaw!

Hi! Many of you know me but for those who don't, my name is Tina and I'm a close friend of Catherine's. As you all know, Frank has recently had brain surgery (if he hasn't mentioned it yet, he will!) due to a tumor caused by a previous melanoma that was removed from his arm. They also found three other lesions on his brain that are relatively small and will treat with targeted radiation. Although it seems he is on a good path to kicking this cancer's ass, I am sure the road ahead will not be the easiest. Alexandra is also scheduled to have foot surgery in March leaving Catherine with two patients to care for.

Many of you have asked how you can help. Since the Parrillos have moved to Florida, dropping off meals, helping out with shopping, doctor visits and pet sitting will be difficult for many of us. I have spoken to Catherine and convinced her (bullied her) into signing up for an at-home meal delivery service. This way she can select her meals based on the following week's schedule. I would like to raise enough money to cover at least a 6-month subscription with hopefully some extra to help out with pet sitting, online grocery delivery, cleaning (we all know Frank likes it obsessively clean) and any other incidentals that may arise while going through treatment.

On behalf of the Parrillo Family, thank you so much for all of your prayers, love and support. They are overwhelmed by the outpouring they have received from their family and friends.
