Support Nick's Road to Recovery

Hi Everyone,

First, I want to thank each and everyone of you who has generously donated this year to help Nick and Francesca financially. We are grateful for your support.

I have an update on Nick's condition: he has improved considerably, especially in the last 3-4 months, but he will need continued long term rehabilitation, which unfortunately is not covered through their health insurance.

So we still need your help!

If you haven't donated yet, please consider helping them now.

*Also:PLEASE pass this GoFundMe forward to any organization, agency, group, individual and /or family that would like to help them during this very difficult time.

Again, our deepest and most heart felt Thank You goes out to everyone who read this and donates. ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Everyone, for those of you who don't know me, I'm Nick DiRienzo's sister, Angela.

Nick is on a long road to recovery since his emergency open heart surgery in late October due to constrictive pericarditis, which he's been battling for over 2 years.

My brother is truly a "girl dad", as he loves to describe himself -because of the love and dedication that he lives everyday for his daughter, Julianna, (my wonderful

niece❤️❤️) and wife, Francesca.

Nick and Fran live life like most families, putting their child first and themselves way down on their list of priorities - and were working hard to achieve their goals as a family, until this crisis began.

In order to battle his disease for the last 2+ years, Nick lost alot of time from work, and consequently alot of income. He is self employed- we all know how complicated it is to make a living day to day when you are the only one 100% responsible for your income.

And to add insult to injury, after several appeals, their health insurance continues to deny coverage for Nick to enter a LTC facility in the area, which provides the medical care and vent weaning, essential for his recovery, creating an additional enormous financial burden for them.

We all love Nick, Fran and Julianna, and will never abandon them during their most difficult days, so no donation is too small, as it will go to Nick's ongoing hospital, and post hospital acute specialized care. Please give what you can.
