Prayers for CJ and Debbie Cuticello

Thank you for your time and consideration,

I am writing this on behalf of Jamie and Jill Cuticello as I know with 100 % certainty that Jamie nor Jill would ever ask for a donation, but I feel compelled to ask on their behalf. Both of their parents, CJ and Debbie, have been in deteriorating condition after a long hospital stay. Debbie has recently undergone decompression surgery on her neck after an episode of paralysis. She was recovering well, considering a complicated medical history, but is now at Yale New Haven Hospital with very low oxygen saturations. There, they will be ruling out respiratory complications. CJ was discharged to rehab to gain strength for an upcoming surgery for Cauda Equina (a very serious neurological condition affecting the lower spinal column) but has been suffering from hallucinations since his arrival. He, too, is back at Yale to undergo additional testing. They have a long road of recovery ahead of them and I pray that this is just a speed bump. As a nurse, I can say with confidence that I have seen even the worst situations turn around for the better. I also believe it is the strength and determination of the patient and those who surround them. Please keep CJ and Debbie in your prayers, and pray for their strength to heal and be home with their family. They, coincidently, are battling these illnesses together, let's pray they come home together. Please consider a donation to help CJ and Debbie through their long road of recovery, but to also aid Jamie and Jill while they navigate their own busy home lives, caring for their parents in the long term and the responsibility of the bills that are now piling up.

I am a lifelong friend of Jamie and Jill. CJ and Debbie have helped me through some of my most difficult days. They have offered their home, their hearts and always a hearty meal. They are genuinely caring and overly generous and I am confident they have similarly touched your life.

Please consider a donation of any denomination. Donations will go directly to Jamie Cuticello.

Sincerely,

Andrea Vessels (Jackman)
