Supporting Matt Juliano’s road to recovery

On November 23rd 2020, Matt began his battle with COVID after his sister Debbie (his angel), called 911  when finding him at his home with a pulse ox level in the 60s .  That ambulance ride to Cooper University Hospital would begin a journey that has proven to be the fight of his life.  The last 90 days have included nearly 60 days on a ventilator with proning, a tracheotomy, a feeding tube, two separate rehab facility stays,  and multiple infections including three different types of pneumonia—viral, bacterial, and aspiration.  Matt was also recently found to have several tears in his left shoulder most likely from having to be proned.  He is getting stronger each day and we hope to have him home very soon but his journey is far from over.  Matt will still need extensive therapy to get him back to the stage where his talents are enjoyed by so many.

        The outpouring of support for Matt and the rest of the family during these dark days have provided hope and comfort. So many of you have asked how to help get Matt back on his feet (literally) as he faces continued months of no income and medical bills.  After much discussion, we have decided to start this page to coincide with the “Music for Matt” streams that will be coming to Facebook soon.
