Nancy’s coworkers have created this page to help support her and Tony as they face a loss no parent should. For now we will manage the page and ensure all gifts are delivered to Nancy so we aren’t adding anything to her plate as they navigate this unexpected season and obtain custody of their teenage grandson. Nancy does have this link to be able to see your messages. For anyone looking to offer "tangible" support, the Palestino's have an incredible local community and currently have more food than they know what to do with. What would be most helpful to them would be assistance towards legal and other unplanned expenses. The venmo link is set up for her directly, everything else will be coordinated.
