My name is Adrian, and I am doing my best to support my family of seven through a very difficult time. I recently became sick and have been unable to work for the past two weeks. As the only one working, it has been a struggle to keep up with our bills, and now rent is due. My wife is unable to work, and our children—two 17-year-olds, a 14-year-old, a 13-year-old, and an 11-year-old—depend on me.

Tomorrow is my first day back at work at Fincantieri after my illness. This is the second time I have battled lymphoma, and I am also dealing with a spinal problem. Despite these challenges, I am determined to keep going for my family. Right now, we are without food and facing the stress of rent being due by may 1st but we remain hopeful and strong in our faith.

We are reaching out for help during this difficult season. Any support, prayers, or kindness you can offer would mean the world to us. We believe that, however God can help provide, we will get through this with the support of our community. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering helping our family.

we have lost our only means of transportation and now we are late on our rent anything helps and I can go back to light duty tomorrow which my job does not have. But it’s a start .
