Joel’s Story

Site created on August 11, 2021

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep Joel's family and friends updated in one place so Danielle can focus on Joel and his recovery. We appreciate all your support, prayers and words of hope and encouragement. Tonight and every night, at 9:26pm, please send your positive energy and prayers for Joel.  He is always there for all of us and he needs us now.  Light a candle, say a prayer or lift him up in your way!  We love you Joel!! Thank you for visiting.

Friends of Joel,

I created a Facebook Event with all the details: https://fb.me/e/2OGganyws

Support Team Joel ~ Green Team
Join us as Joel gets on the board for the first time in almost a year. An amazing organization founded by Jesse Billauer, Life Rolls On's 2022 GET ON BOARD TOUR is hitting Santa Monica this weekend. Details:
 
  • 7:00am: Check In
  • 8:00am: Welcome Speech & Group Photo
  • 9:00am: Adaptive Surf Clinic Starts
  • 12pm: Joel's Surf Time! (Please arrive at the beach no later than 11:00am)
  • 4pm: Event Wraps

Volunteer: The Life Rolls On crew are very much in need of volunteers! If you are able to stay for the day, please register through this link: https://tinyurl.com/ycuhwuet
(post/ comment if having issues with this!)

There’s a spot where they can choose Team Green and a spot to enter "Joel Aiello".
If you'd like to join just for Joel’s surf sesh you just need to sign a release on Saturday.
 
Parking: Use Parking Lot 5S (plenty of spots, but the line gets long!), bike, skate, walk or uber works too
 
We'd love for you to spend the whole day at the beach with us, but most importantly, showing your support of Joel... please wear Green and bring your wet suit and your stamina!
 
 
Please text me with questions or post a comment in the event!
 
 
Patients and caregivers love hearing from you; add a comment to show your support.
