On Octotragedy once again struck the boys and their family. Superstorm Sandy, which made landfall in New Jersey and became the most destructive hurricane in history, destroyed the family home, and all of their belongings, including vital paperwork (they just obtained their birth certificates this past fall).

Patrick and Tyler Giesler have had a lot of adversity in their lives, more than any boys should have to deal with. Pat and Tyler lost their father at a very young age. Soon after the death of their father, the boys had to deal with being abandoned by their biological mother. They were fortunate enough to have their loving grandmother, Theresa Burke, who the boys refer to as “Mom,” and their great grandmother, Filomena Santapolo Irons, to raise them. They lived together in a long-time family home near the Mantoloking Bridge in Brick Township (the family home was built in the 1800's). Remember, anything is enough to help, it all adds up. We are trying to get them into an apartment, where they can be better supported. They are good, hard working boys in a very difficult time, We are working with them, local county officials, and a food pantry. Please read their story and consider helping them out, if you wish to do so.

These are two brothers – Patrick and Tyler – recent high school graduates that have fallen on a very difficult situation. The Brick Township football community and community at large have launched a GoFundMe page for two brothers who graduated last year. Brick Brothers Aided by GoFundMe Page and Generous Community
