Help Chris Fight Cancer & Rebuild After FL Hurricanes
Donation protected
We are David and Patsy Perrotti. We wanted to tell you a story about our dear friends, Chris and Dawn Cella.
Chris and Dawn moved to Florida several years ago, where they thought they would be living out their dream life. Tragically, Chris started to feel unwell a few years ago, and after many doctor visits and medical tests, he was diagnosed with male breast cancer, one of the rarest cancers a man can have. He started treatment immediately, with their hopes high. However, Chris developed metastatic disease, which means his cancer is terminal and has spread throughout his body. Three years ago, he was given two years to live, and he is still with us but suffering greatly.
As many of you know, Florida was hit by two major hurricanes, Helene and Milton, in the last several weeks. Several feet of water with Helene damaged Chris and Dawn's house. Then, two weeks later, Milton came, and the house was almost completely destroyed. All their personal belongings, including all their clothes and shoes, were gone. What is left of their home is being cut apart due to the growing mold.
Chris and Dawn do not have anywhere to go. They live in these conditions and truly do not know where they will go next. Chris's health is very fragile, and they need help immediately. If there is anything you can donate at this time, Chris and Dawn would appreciate it immensely. The money will go to medical bills, food, new clothes, and trying to repair their home to make it livable.
We thank everyone for anything they can give.
