When Caruso Family Charities first met the McConnell family four years ago, they were in a dire situation. Their 8-year-old son Griffin had been having full-blown epileptic seizures almost constantly, which had become life threatening. They were quickly losing their exceptionally bright son, who learned to play chess at the age of 4 and was in gifted classes at school. When his seizures wouldn’t stop, Griffin was taken to the hospital in Grand Junction, then airlifted with his mother Kori to Children’s Hospital Colorado.
When Jerry Caruso offered to help the family with bills, Rita and DJ said they did need help, but what they wanted most was to give their son something special. So Caruso Family Charities provided something priceless: a one-week vacation in Florida to take the boys to Legoland.
Liberty Oilfield Services raised over $43,000 for Caruso Family Charities. We were blown away by the amount of money raised and cannot thank Liberty Oilfield Services enough for their incredible support.
After seeing the impact Caruso Family Charities had on one of its employee’s lives, Long Building Technologies hosted a Golf Tournament and donated $20,000 to Caruso Family Charities. This significant donation will allow Caruso Family Charities to help even more struggling Colorado families who have a child suffering from a life-threatening illness.
