Matt Needs Our Help!
Matteo (Matt) Giampoala has been fortunate to receive a lung transplant after battling pulmonary fibrosis for the for the last 5 years. The team at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania have given him excellent care before and after his surgeries. Now begins the long recovery process including intensive physical therapy and regular calibration of numerous medications. Matt needs our help to cope with those medical expenses not covered by his insurance.
Matt is a kind, generous, and humorous man who loves to laugh with his family. He grew up in Lyndhurst, NJ and worked as a manager for Sorrento for over 25 years. Matt is a loving husband, brother, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. After more than 30 years of marriage, Matt and Esther have six children, 14 grandchildren and one great grandchild. And there is one more grandchild and one more great-grandchild on the way! He can’t wait to hold these two new arrivals.

If you pray, please pray for Joe's brother Matt, he had a lung transplant last Thursday and was doing great, today he had emergency surgery to remove fluid that accumulated around his heart and he is back in intensive care.
Thanks
