Gary Cardona is an amazing older brother, a loving son, and a fun uncle. He is both my brother, my best friend, and my roommate. He is currently battling Stage 2 Hodgekins Lymphoma. This type of cancer is highly cureable, and we have high hopes that after going through 4 months of chemotherapy, he can reach remission. Gary works as a heavy lifter at a factory job and cannot continue to work while undergoing chemotherapy. I am continuing to go to ISU to finish my senior year of my BFA while also working part-time as a job coach for disabled adults. I unfortunately don't make enough to cover all of the bills by myself.

We are asking for your help to pay our rent, groceries, and other assorted bills while he is unable to work. Anything you can give is highly appreciated.
