Thank You All♥️

Hello everyone. I am the niece of Jack Faragasso, artist, instructor, and author. He is 95 years old. He lived his entire life in a 4-story walk-up, rent-controlled apartment in NYC, until 4 years ago when he fell on the city street and broke his hip. After surgery, he needed extensive rehab in an attempt to make him able to walk up steps again to go home. Unfortunately, insurance ran out and he had to leave rehab. He needed care to dress and shower, plus more PT so we had no choice but to bring him to Assisted Living. We thought he would get stronger with more PT there, but the day he got there, Covid broke out and they were in lockdown. No PT was allowed in for a very long time and at that point, he had gotten so weak we knew he would never be able to go up or down steps again so we had to give up his rent-controlled NYC apartment. My uncle was very depressed and lonely, missing the only home he knew and in quarantine in a strange place with nothing familiar and no art supplies. We have since then set him up so he can once again paint and draw but financially it’s a great struggle. We have been selling his art in hopes of being able to pay this extraordinary rent but it’s just not enough. It’s so difficult when an elderly person needs care because the care is extremely expensive. At this time we are asking for any donations you are able to make, in hopes that my uncle will be able to live out his years in a safe and healthy environment with good care. Please know that every dollar will be used to pay his monthly rent and care.

With Heartfelt Thanks From

The Family of Jack Faragasso
