Charities to Honor John Grigas

If you would like to make a donation in John's name, these are some organizations we have chose:

In June of 2025, John experienced multiple strokes. While he initially started to show signs of positive recovery, his strokes continued to expand, ultimately moving into his motor cortex. If not recognized and treated immediately, there is currently no way to prevent an expansion. Donate here to help advance the understanding and treatment of strokes.

Abrazar is a transportation service that was utilized by our family. With John unable to use both legs as well as his right arm, mobility became a challenging task. Being able to bring him to the house or take him to various appointments would have been nearly impossible without professional help. Abrazar offers rides for $2. A donation here will help Abrazar continue to make rides accessible to families going through similar experiences.

All of the neighborhood dogs knew where John lived. Leashes were constantly pulled towards the front door. This link provides various ways to make donations to the OC Animal Care organization.
