Donny Gialanella's Brain Operation

Donation protected
Donald Gialanella is our lifetime friend. He has been diagnosed with tremor dominant Parkinson's disease. 

He is a humble and gentle individual who has always proven to be altruistic in nature, always giving to individuals, his community and organizations that needed his artistic support. 

We feel that it is time to give back to Donny. The disease has left it painstakingly hard to shave, dress, or hold utensils to eat, let alone hold the welding torch for metal sculptures. Conventional drug therapy has not helped. Everything has changed in Donny's  life and so much is at stake; yet each day Donald goes to work with hope in his heart.

Please consider making a donation, so Donald can undergo a revolutionary non-invasive MRI guided ultrasound brain operation that has had great success in reducing tremors. This operation is not covered under Donald's insurance and will cost between 32, 000 and 50, 000 US dollars.  The operation is needed as soon as possible, as the disease is quickly progressing. 

There is not a more dedicated artist than Donald and he needs the support of our wonderful community to support him through this difficult and overwhelming time. 

Please donate and help Donald in his fight.
