Help the Manzo Family Rebuild After Devastating Flooding

Hello, my name is Joey Manzo, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my family—my wife, Nicole, our 11-year-old daughter, Angela, and our two beloved dogs.

Our family has been going through an incredibly difficult time after a severe rainstorm caused flooding at the apartment complex where we were living. The flooding damaged our home and destroyed most of our furniture and many of our personal belongings.

In what felt like an instant, so much of what we had worked hard for was gone. We lost most of our furniture, along with some clothing, shoes, sneakers, and even our two dogs’ beds.

One of the most heartbreaking parts of this experience has been seeing how it has affected our daughter, Angela. She is just 11 years old and will be celebrating her 12th birthday on November 26.

Angela attends Catholic school, and unfortunately, all of her school uniforms were ruined by mold that developed following the flooding. Replacing her uniforms, clothing, and shoes has become another unexpected financial burden during an already difficult time.

Because of the flooding, we were forced to leave our apartment. My wife, Nicole, our daughter, Angela, our two dogs, and I are now living together in a one-bedroom apartment. While we are thankful to have a roof over our heads, it has been a major adjustment for our family.

As a husband and father, all I want is to provide a safe, stable, and comfortable home for my wife and daughter. Seeing our family lose so much and having to start over has been emotionally and financially overwhelming.

We are doing everything we can to move forward, but replacing our furniture, clothing, school uniforms, and other household necessities while adjusting to our new living situation has been challenging.

I’m starting this GoFundMe to help our family replace essential furniture, including beds, mattresses, couches, dressers, tables, chairs, and other household necessities. Donations will also help us replace Angela’s Catholic school uniforms, clothing, sneakers, and shoes, along with comfortable beds for our two dogs.

We aren’t asking for anything extravagant. We are simply hoping for a chance to rebuild what we lost, get back on our feet, and create a comfortable home for our family again.

With Angela’s 12th birthday approaching, my greatest wish is to give her a sense of normalcy, comfort, and stability after everything our family has experienced.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean more to us than words can express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing our story with your friends, family, or community would be just as appreciated.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, generosity, prayers, and support during this difficult time.

With your help, the Manzo family can begin rebuilding our lives, one step at a time.

God bless everyone who takes the time to read, share, or support our story.
