Cesario's family was in on the surprise.
"We kept it a secret for almost a month," said Cesario's daughter, Rosie Skripkunis, to the Asbury Park Press. "It was worth it keeping it from her."
Bon Jovi, had dinner, gave Cesario a guitar, and treated the family to a preview of the upcoming Bon Jovi album, "This House is Not For Sale."
"What you did for our family is amazing and we are so grateful," Skripkunis ofEphrata, PA. said on Facebook. "This has been one of the best days of our family's life. Seeing my mom this happy filled me with so much joy. I still can not believe this happened. Jon is an amazing human. We appreciate everything he did for our mom and for our family today."
A GoFundMe page has been established for Cesario to help defray medical costs.
