Help John Russo Fight Cancer
John Russo is a devoted husband, a loving father of two, and a treasured friend to many. At 49 years old, John’s life took an unexpected and devastating turn when he was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer that has spread to his colon. Known for his steady work ethic, warm smile, and unwavering support for those around him, John now finds himself in the toughest battle of his life.
For years, John has been a dedicated team member at Groot Industries, where his reliability and positive attitude earned the respect of everyone who worked with him. Outside of work, John’s world revolves around his wife and children. Whether he was at a softball game for his daughter, fixing his project car, or lending a hand to a neighbor, John has always been the one people could count on.
Now it’s our turn to be there for him.
Cancer treatment will take a heavy toll—not just physically and emotionally, but financially. Between chemotherapy sessions, doctor visits, and ongoing care, John has also had to take significant time off work. While he continues to fight with strength and determination, the financial strain on his family will become overwhelming.
We are asking for your help to support John and his family during this incredibly difficult time. Donations will go directly toward his treatment costs and help cover the lost income during his recovery. Every contribution—no matter the size—brings him one step closer to healing.
Let’s rally behind John the way he’s always been there for others. Thank you for standing with the Russo family
