Hi everyone! We are reaching out on behalf of my amazing father Mike Guaragna.

Most of you know Mike through the music scene in Rockland County and Northern New Jersey where he's been a staple since the 70's and continues to this day. But to us, he's just Dad. Proud husband to wife Jeanie, who has been nothing short of angelic during this time. The proud father of 4 daughters, grandfather to 10 grand children and great-grandfather to 1 great grandchild. He's everything to us.

Recently, after hiding some signficant pain for an extended period of time, Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer with mets to his spine. It was also determined he is suffering from severe renal disease. Since his diagnosis and subsequent 2 week hospital stay that included 3 seperate surgeries, it's become apparent our Mom is going to need some help. Unfortunately, all of us live several thousand miles away and due to family obligations of our own are finding it hard to be there physically to help. We are reaching out to everyone we can that knows him, loves him and wants to help our family in this turbulent season. All funds that are donated will be used for the following

  • Securing a handrail for his front porch to help eliminate falls
  • modifications in their bathrooms to prevent falls-rails and handle, shower seat
  • Ongoing cost of medical supplies to help keep him infection free at home
  • loss of income
  • Transportation costs
  • At home care- we have a nurse coming in regularly to care for him
Dad was still working until his hospitalization, however, things are adding up quickly. There are several treatment options he is pursuing at the moment, however, the situation is becoming daunting and we want him to focus on his health and not his financial obligations. Any donation is appreciated more than we can express. All donations will be delivered to our parents directly. Thank you so much! Happy Holidays and God Bless
