Help Joan Recover From Painful Shoulder Surgery

Hi, I'm Anthony DeVito and I started this fundraiser to help my friend Joan Daidone recuperate very painful from shoulder and arm surgery. She recently had a bad freak accident that resulted in a broken shoulder requiring a metal plate, screws, pins and a long, intense and difficult healing process. Joan's recuperation has limited her mobility and as expected is running up bills — over $5K already and counting.

Our donations will help her deal with all the costs insurance doesn't cover (which, as we know, are many) including out-of-pocket expenses and help around the house as she heals. Joan is unable to work at the moment, so her income from freelancing is currently zero.

If you know Joan, you know how much she helps others, through charity work and personal obligations. But she is not one to ask for help, which is why I set this page up with her permission. Hopefully we can all do a little to help ease this burden even if we're far away. Thank you! - Anthony

P.S. All funds raised will go directly into Joan's bank account so she can use them right away.
