Hello friends, neighbors, and kind-hearted strangers,

My name is Tarryn, and along with my friend Ginny, we are reaching out on behalf of a humble, hardworking man who has quietly helped make New York City a more beautiful place for years.

Brian is a devoted Central Park Conservancy employee who spends his days caring for the park so that millions of people from around the world can enjoy its beauty, peace, and wonder. Rain or shine, his hands help maintain the flowers, trees, and paths that bring joy to so many.

Today, he and his family need our help.

His beloved wife, Giselle, was recently diagnosed with lymphoma—a devastating diagnosis that has turned their world upside down. As you can imagine, after just having survived Gabby’s premature arrival, the emotional toll is already immense, but the financial burden will become overwhelming. Between chemotherapy, hospital stays, medications, and time away from work, the bills will pile up fast.

Brian has given so much to our community—often without thanks or recognition. Now it’s our turn to support him.

We’re raising $50,000 to help cover this young family's living expenses so this beautiful young family can focus on healing and hope instead of financial strain. Every dollar helps, and no amount is too small. Even just sharing this campaign means the world.

Let’s stand with Brian, Giselle, their sweet baby girl Gabriella, and their loyal pup Shadow—just as Brian has stood with all of us, quietly and faithfully, among the trees and gardens of Central Park.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

With deep gratitude,

“Friends and Family of Central Park”
