Sometimes life takes some unexpected turns. Unfortunately, that is what Scott and his beautiful wife of 6 months, Rita, are currently enduring. Scott is a much-adored professor at Ocean County College and due to sudden and unanticipated life events, has been unable to work for several months. Scott was recently diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer.

While the newlyweds should be spending their time building their new life together they are in the fight of their lives. For the past few months, Scott has been hospitalized for extended care and treatment that has taken a mental and financial toll on the newlywed couple. To allow Rita to focus on Scott's well being her friends and family are reaching out to request financial assistance for unanticipated medical bills and Scott's ongoing care.

The donations from this GoFundMe will go directly to Scott's care and any needs that may arise. Together we can help take some burden off the couple during this difficult time.

If you cannot support them financially but wish to support them through prayers or your expression of support, please reach out to Rita or close family directly.

We are all in this together to support Scott and Rita!
