Meet John A Father,
Brother, and Senior Trying
to Get Back Home

Hello, my name is John.
I’ve lived in Wisconsin alone as a senior citizen for 8 years, facing many health challenges. This September I suffered two strokes during a cardiac catheterization, an essential procedure to determine how to move forward with my aneurysm of the ascending aorta, and another about a week later. I’m trying to move back home to Chicago — not just for my comfort, but for my health, happiness, and peace of mind.

Why This Move Matters

I want to be close to my family. I want to make memories. I want to feel alive again

Holidays, Family, and Hope

It’s been years since I’ve had a Christmas tree or Thanksgiving dinner with my family. I dream of laughter around the table again.
