The Gianna Cirella Memorial Fund was established to make a difference . . .

One of the best ways to honor Gianna is to spend our days finding ways to help those affected by Sepsis.

Gianna's story:

Gianna, 16 years old of Warwick, RI developed a sore throat Oct. 13, 2017 that worsened into pneumonia, then sepsis, a life-threatening blood infection.

Doctors amputated her leg in hopes of curbing the infection, however, multiple vital organs continued to fail.

On November 1st, at approximately 6pm, Gianna moved on from her pain to a much more comfortable, peaceful place.  The disease that got into Gianna's beautiful little body was much larger than her.  The disease won; but not without the most courageous battle.
