Help for the Manzi family

The Manzi Family of 5 needs your help! Here is a little history of this remarkable family who would do anything for anyone including strangers! Now it is our turn to see what we can do for them!
Vinny and Betsy are a great couple who have been married for 8 years. They have three beautiful, energetic, fun loving daughters. He has been out of work for several years because of a workplace injury. because of this injury, Vinny became a "stay at home dad" for their three girls while Betsy continued to work but now her role has changed from second income to head of household, income. Her hopes to further her college education had been put on hold.
In April 2015, Vinny had a fever for several weeks straight. He ended up at the Emergency Room in several hospitals in Connecticut and New York. Doctors were baffled, stumped at what was wrong with Vinny and why his fever was not going away. After much discussions and doctor visits, and Betsy's persistence, an infectious disease doctor was finally put on the "Let's figure out whats wrong with Vinny" case.
The most recent development in Vinny's case is the addition of the "pick line" into Vinny's life. Vinny has a golf ball size mass in one lung and some spots in his other lung. Hopefully the medication that Vinny is currently on will help with the smaller spots and decrease the size of the larger mass. Surgery is inevitable for Vinny and part of his lung will need to be removed. We are hoping and praying that the mass will decrease in size so more of his lung can be saved.
Vinny and Betsy have never been the kind of people to complain or ask for help from anyone. However after a recent visit to their house, I noticed a neatly stacked, 8 inch tall pile of medical bills on their kitchen counter. Betsy doesn't even know where to start and which bills to attempt to pay first and which bills could wait for another month or so.
I would love to be able to help this family who has always been so caring and giving to everyone! We all know what the cost of living is from day to day. Imagine the cost of living for a married couple with only one spouse working and one spouse home on disability (or even in the hospital for several weeks) while they are trying to raise three girls who have many interests, needs and wants! It's gotta be tough!
This money will be used to help pay the Manzi's medical bills and needs of the family! Any donation would be greatly appreciated!
