On March 15th, 2025, Matteo Urella, a devoted husband to Christina and father to four young children, experienced a sudden and life-threatening cardiac arrest caused by an undiagnosed genetic condition. While in New York City, Matteo was found unresponsive, but thanks to the selfless actions of a stranger who performed CPR, he was revived and rushed to a critical care unit. He has since made incredible progress, but his recovery is just beginning.
As Matteo faces a long road to recovery, his wife Christina, a Kindergarten teacher, will need to take time off to care for him. Unfortunately, Christina does not qualify for paid family medical leave, and their family will face significant financial challenges.
We are asking for your help to ease the burden they now face. Your generous contributions will provide the Urella family with the support they need to focus on healing, without the constant worry of how to manage the financial strain. Please consider donating to help them stay together, care for each other, and begin to rebuild their lives during this incredibly difficult time.
Every donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference. Thank you for your kindness and support.
