Support Vinny Lorusso's Battle Against Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for my beloved brother, Vinny Lorusso. At 48 years old, he has been diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic melanoma, a relentless and aggressive form of cancer. This insidious form of skin cancer has spread to multiple organs, and Vinny is fighting the battle of his life. Our family is devastated by this news and are determined to fight alongside him every step of the way.

Vinny’s story

Vinny is a devoted husband, treasured son, beloved brother, and cherished friend to many. Known for his warm smile, generous spirit, sense of humor, and unwavering love for his family and friends, Vin has touched the lives of many. He has spent his life giving to others, whether through his work, community service, or simply being a friend to lean on.

Despite this challenging diagnosis, he continues to inspire us all with his courage and resilience. The battle against Stage IV metastatic melanoma is a tough battle, and Vinny is facing numerous treatments, including immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation, and potentially clinical trials. These treatments are not only incredibly physically and emotionally taxing but also come with immense financial burdens.

We are seeking to raise $23,000 to cover the costs of Vinny’s medical treatments, hospital visits, and to support his family during this difficult time while he is unable to work. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant impact to the financial stress so Vinny can focus on his fight against this relentless disease.

How You Can Help:

1. Donate: Any amount you can contribute will go directly towards Vinny's medical expenses and supporting his family.
2. Share: Please share Vinny's story and this campaign with your network. The more people who hear about Vinny’s battle, the greater the support we can gather.
3. Pray: Keep Vinny and our family in your thoughts and prayers. Your positive energy and prayers are greatly appreciated.

Our family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love, prayers, and support we have already received. We humbly ask for your continued support, whether through a donation or by sharing this page with your network.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, generosity, and kindness. Together, we can help Vinny fight this battle and give him the strength he needs to overcome this challenge.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Kristie Spenner (Lorusso) and the Lorusso Family
