My name is Joseph De Molfetto, I'm 40 years old. When I was 25 my future was robbed from me due to a severe accident working for private sanitation.
My truck turned over when I hit a pole on Hamilton Ave. in Brooklyn NY. The day was 1/9/91 and there was a storm. It was just six days after my 25th birthday. I was supposed to die or be a vegetable. Well I lived, but I will never be physically or mentally the same again. I'm living on workers compensation from the State Insurance Fund, I get my maximum benefit of $579.14 every two weeks. I have a wife and two kids. Were living with my father which is the only way we can survive. But we would like to be able to have a life of our own with our two daughters, ages 9 and 10 and a half.
I'm having my wife write this for me since my right hand is useless due to the left side of my brain being removed. I go to the hospital for joint diseases at NY university hospital, in Manhattan NY. I'V been a patient of Dr. Orrin Devinsky since I survived the accident,I'm sure many of you have heard of him http://www.neurologychannel.com/nyu/physicians.shtml he is a very well known neurologist. Anyway I'm appealing to any of you reading this, for help. Especially at Christmas time. If you would be so generous any amount from each of you would be better than what we have now. Living in this situation you have no idea how much a collection of a single dollar from a group would help us and put us in a much better position. Will you please help? Thanks Joseph and Lisa De Molfetto
