Help bring Pastor Esposito home!

Donation protected
I never thought I would create a GoFund me but tonight I felt compelled to create one for my aunt and uncle, Joe and Mary Esposito. Many of you know that over five years ago my uncle, Pastor Joe Esposito was rushed to the hospital due to a ruptured brain aneurysm.  We almost lost him that night.  Miraculously he survived but he has been in the hospital and rehabilitation since then. Doctors told my aunt that he would never talk. Well, he does (some). Doctors told my aunt he would never eat or swallow by himself and that he would have to be tube fed. Well, he swallows and now eats puréed food my aunt makes for him!  Doctors are amazed by his progress and my aunt very proudly tells them it’s due to God’s grace and answered prayers.  

Now getting back to the GoFund me : ) Remember I mentioned my uncle talks?  He often asks my aunt and other family members to “bring him home” or “I want to go home”.  He wants to be home!  We want him home!  For quite some time now my aunt has been working on a plan to do just that.   Talking to doctors, learning how to care for him and preparing the house. 

So, here’s the thing.... their house needs to be ADA compliant, obvs! So much work and money is needed to get the home ready for my uncle.  My aunt has never once complained about the position God has placed her in.  I’m pretty sure she’s a perfect human if there was ever such a thing ❤️.  The family has worked tirelessly to get the home ready but we’re down to one last room: his restroom. The restroom is a two week project that will consist of a shower that can accommodate a bathing bed, yes that’s right A BED.  He needs to be bathed in a bed.  Also, equipment that will help my aunt maneuver my uncle and other ADA compliant apparatuses.  He’s so close to coming home and I’m hoping I can raise $5k to finish his bathroom so PASTOR JOE CAN GO HOME!!! 

Below is the link to read all updates about my uncle.   Please read and pray for the family.   Thank you to those who have supported and have kept my family in their prayers.
