While raising money for medical bills, the Struppa’s also hope to raise awareness for this rare cancer as they try to beat it.
“Maybe as a group as a community we can push these insurance companies to not fight over who’s not gonna pay for these meds and maybe realize these are children who have a whole future ahead of them,” said Struppa. “And we need to get them these meds and these programs and these clinical trials as fast as we can because a lot of times, they don’t have years and years to wait for this stuff.”
Struppa is an army veteran and has been a firefighter in Southbridge for the last decade, dedicating his life to helping others, and now he’s hoping others will do the same for his family.
“We pray and we ask other people to pray for us,” said Struppa.
