Dominic Pantoni
State of Pennsylvania
Son of Member Nancy Patoni
Dominic Pantoni was born with a rare genetic disorder called DELETION 22Q SYNDROME.
His mother, Nancy, agreed to a court-appointed guardian for Dominic in 2009 ONLY because she could not afford the specialized full-time care he suddenly needed.
In the past few years Dominic’s health has deteriorated, and he now has Stage 3 Kidney Disease.
Nancy has spent her entire life savings in her ongoing fight to gain guardianship of her beloved son.
She also wants Dom to be seen by medical experts not covered by insurance.
Please contact Nancy Pantoni if you can help in any way.
We are seeking: an attorney willing to work pro bono on a guardianship case, a journalist willing to write a story, and a doctor with experience and expertise treating Deletion 22Q Syndrome.
Thank you for your support.
