Help Support the Cherico family during their medical crisis

Donation protected
Our dear cousin Sean, and his wife Sabrina Drake Cherico, are facing a series of unprecedented medical and financial challenges that require our community's support. Sean, a 3rd generation electrician, is a member of the IBEW local 351 electricians union.

The Urgent Need

We are raising money to help the Cherico family during their critical time of need.

Sean's Health Journey

Sean, a union electrician and primary family provider, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma (an aggressive form of brain cancer). Recently, he underwent surgery to remove as much as the tumor as possible and is currently recovering from that extensive medical procedure. At this time, he is preparing for intensive chemotherapy and radiation treatments to continue the battle against this terrible disease. Currently unable to work, Sean requires comprehensive medical support. As the primary financial provider to his family, Sean's diagnosis is both emotionally and financially devastating.

Nathan's Ongoing Care

Sean and Sabrina share a fifteen-year old son Nathan. Since birth, Nathan has struggled with complex medical issues, including autism, cerebral palsy, and PANDAS. He requires daily professional nursing, 1:1 behavioral assistance, and several specialized therapies. Nathan is non-verbal, requires the use of a feeding tube for nutrition, and is not toilet trained. Nathan is never able to be left unsupervised, and both Sean and Sabrina dedicate all of their personal time to his care. As Nathan is often hospitalized due to his long-term medical issues, Sabrina dedicates her life to Nathan's care, making her unable to work outside the home.

How Funds Will Help

With two members of this beautiful family experiencing catastrophic medical conditions, donations will support:

  • Medical treatment costs for Sean and Nathan
  • Hospital and treatment expenses
  • Transportation to medical facilities
  • Essential care supplies
  • Ongoing medical support for both Sean and Nathan

Our Community's Opportunity

Sean and Sabrina have tirelessly cared for Nathan. They have managed to keep a steady balance emotionally and financially, but now their need for support is dire. The time is now critical to support this resilient family.

Every contribution matters. Together, we can help ease their medical and financial burden.

With gratitude and hope,
