Through the twists of their caregiving experience, they face challenges that reshape their outlook on life. As they support their grandmother during her battle with illness, they draw strength from the love of their family and friends. However, destiny has more in store for them, testing their resilience and prompting a redefinition of their notions of love and devotion. This is the story of two individuals, a celebration of family bonds, and a testament to the connections that unite us all.

In New Jersey, Chris and Anthony Marchetti lead lives fueled by love, dedication, and a passion for music. While Chris works at Goldman Sachs in Manhattan, he cultivates relationships, proving that connections remain important even in busy schedules. Similarly, Anthony balances his role in software sales at Salesforce with escapes to coastal getaways and snowy slopes. Beyond their individual pursuits, the brothers share a bond with their grandmother. Having taken on caregiving responsibilities since their teenage years, they've learned to navigate the complexities of this role, offering a glimpse into the world of compassion and resilience. Their journey is a commitment, a story that highlights the complexities of caregiving, and a tribute to the strength of familial ties in the face of life's challenges.

About Chris:

I am 30 years old, born & raised in New Jersey, and I work in Manhattan for Goldman Sachs.  I have many interests, from movies and outdoor adventures to concerts and playing guitar, to history and binging museums.. I've always loved learning/experiencing something new.  But four things will forever remain true: Star Wars is the greatest movie, Lord of the Rings the greatest book, The Beach Boys the greatest band, and Family & Friends the greatest of all.. these are immutable.

About Anthony:

I'm a 26-year-old living in Hoboken, NJ, just a hop away from NYC. I work in Software Sales at Salesforce in the city. For fun, I love going out with my friends and attending concerts. During the summer, I try to get down to the beach, and come winter, you'll find me hitting the slopes and skiing.
