Joe Miello is one of the nicest guys I have the pleasure of knowing. His kind soul is always willing to help anyone he can, and he is always happy and maintains a positive attitude even when things get tough. Joe’s life hasn’t been easy and lately, it’s been even harder.
Joe is a single father of 3 young children under the age of eleven. He’s been raising his kids without any financial assistance. This past December, Joe lost his mother to cancer and now looks after his elderly father. As if this wasn’t enough, Joe unfortunately suffered a minor stroke which led him to the hospital this June and ultimately 2 surgeries and a week’s stay in the ICU. Joe had to have cardiovascular surgery to open arteries and correct a vein to restore proper blood flow.
Joe works as an independent general contractor. He doesn’t have good insurance or benefits, disability, etc. Why doesn’t he have those things? Because as a single dad, Joe has had to make a decision between feeding his kids and paying the utilities or buying insurance policies that he might use. I guess now that we know the “might” became a reality, maybe decisions would have been different, but honestly, Joe has always had to work hard just to make ends meet. This is why I am asking for your help.
Joe needs our support. He has medical bills that are unimaginable that we will try to negotiate a settlement for, but in the short term, Joe cannot work for the next 4 months while his body heals from surgery. This fundraiser is to raise donations to help cover Joe’s daily living expenses for his 3 kids and himself over the next 4 months and, if possible, pay medical bills too.
