Albion House Fire - Please help my Grandparents

Donation protected
Hello,

It is with a heavy heart that I write about a serious tragedy that has occurred in our family. Just about two weeks ago, my Grandparents, Vince and Felicia, were seriously injured in a major house fire that involved several explosions inside their home in Albion, NY. The doctors say it is a miracle that they survived. 

They are both in the ICU Burn/Trauma unit at Strong Memorial Hospital. They have been in Critical Condition, but I am so relieved to say they are now in Guarded Condition. The shock of this event has been devastating to our Grandparents and our family. 

Please allow me to share a little bit about how truly AMAZING my Grandparents are. Vince and Felicia both come from small towns in Italy. They love their culture and still live it every day. From making their own wine to their own sauces, they exemplify true Italian tradition.

My grandfather loves the outdoors. From sunrise to sunset, he’s working on hands-on projects that you wouldn’t believe an 81 year old could do. His ambition is undeniable and his smile could light up an entire stadium. My grandmother, who is 82 years old, has a serious passion for cooking. She always has a flourishing garden with eggplant, zucchini, green beans, squash and so much more. Most importantly, tomatoes, for her famously delicious homemade sauce. Her cooking would definitely win your heart.

Even though it’s going to a long road to recovery, we cannot wait for the day when they can start reliving their lives again. They have always been
there for everyone, and now it’s our turn to do the same for them. Please help me to help them rebuild their lives.

If you could please make a contribution of any amount, we would appreciate it with all our hearts. Thank you so much in advance for your thoughts, prayers, and kindness. It truly means a lot.
