Support John and his battle with ALS.

Around three years ago, my cousin and dear friend to many, John Naccarato, received the devastating diagnosis of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. Today, we launch this GoFundMe campaign with the heartfelt purpose of rallying support for John and his family as they bravely confront this relentless disease. ALS, a progressive nervous system disorder, affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to the gradual loss of muscle control and motor skills.

In the past few years, we've witnessed the challenging progression of the disease, making everyday tasks increasingly difficult for John. Throughout this journey, John has been an embodiment of courage and inspiration, teaching us valuable lessons in resilience. Despite the adversities, he forges ahead with a warm smile, uplifting words, and an unwavering positive attitude. He refuses to let the illness define him and remains focused on what matters most—his family. Sandra, John's devoted wife, and his sons, Alessandro and Nicholas, stand by his side, exemplifying equal measures of courage and inspiration. They navigate through the hardships with strength, never seeking help, never complaining, and always prioritizing John's needs.

Having grown up together, John is more than a cousin; he is the closest thing I have to a brother. Expressing the depth of my care and desire to help has been a personal struggle. This sentiment resonates with countless friends and family members who inquire daily about John's well-being and express a genuine desire to help any way they can. It is with this collective concern in mind that I've established this GoFundMe page—a platform for everyone who knows and loves this remarkable family to demonstrate their care.

Support, however, is not confined to monetary contributions. Here, you can share your kind words of encouragement and love, creating a virtual space filled with positivity and solidarity.

As Helen Keller aptly stated, "No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." Together, let's be the beacon of support that John and his family need during this challenging time.

We love you John.
