Support Jack and Joey Catalano's Bright Future
Donation protected
On May 7th, 2019, brothers Jack (17) and Joey (15) Catalano unexpectedly lost their loving father, sole provider and caretaker John Catalano after a short, brave and hard-fought battle with an extremely rare neurological disease. John was just 55 years old. Jack and Joey are now left without a mother or father who can provide the care and support they’ll require throughout the remainder of their young lives.
Despite their efforts to be strong for one another, compounding their crushing grief is the realization that they have now lost all parental support and are left without a means to financially support themselves as they work to complete their high school years. Both boys had planned to attend college and continue their beloved athletic pursuits, and pray that their dreams won’t be lost as a result of the tragedy they’ve suffered.
A strong-willed army of family and friends have rallied to ensure care and a loving environment for Jack and Joey but are aware they can never recreate what these boys have lost. No one will come close to replacing the love and companionship that John provided to his sons. In dire times like this, it becomes painfully clear that it truly does “take a village”—a village of family, friends, neighbors, and loving strangers who unite to ensure that the once bright futures and dreams of these young men can still be realized.
Although far more than financial support is needed to provide these young boys with a semblance of normalcy, the friends, colleagues and family of John Catalano graciously and humbly invite you to donate whatever financial contributions you can offer. A secure bank account has been created to ensure all funds will be used to support the college aspirations and athletic pursuits of both boys.
From all of us, including our dearest brother, uncle, friend, colleague, neighbor and father, John Catalano, we thank you for your incredibly generous support. God bless.
