The Kimberly Charity Tortorella Fundraiser
Kimberly Charity Tortorella
(a lifelong resident of Kings Park, NY) was diagnosed with Leukemia on
9/4/2013. After having only 2 weeks to prepare for this extended hospital stay,
Kim began her 6 weeks of intensive chemotherapy in an inpatient cancer facility
at Stony Brook Hospital on 9/16/2013.
Her biggest concern was her family (her Husband Jimmy, Son Robert 20,
and her daughter Brianna 15). The doctor’s advised her that her treatment is
going to take 6 months at a minimum which will include several weeks of
inpatient hospital stays.
To make matters more
difficult she will only be receiving partial disability for income during her
treatment period. Her Family and friends have offered her an enormous amount of
love and moral support. She has high spirits and is concentrating on her goal,
becoming cancer free. During this time period we are asking our friends, family
and community to come together to help Kim get through this trying time so that
her only concern is to beat cancer.
Come for a fun night out to help
support a good cause. Dinner, Raffles,
50/50, Chinese Auction, music and much more!!!
