Donate to help the Gemignani's

Meagan Weisner is organising this fundraising appeal on behalf of Paul Gemignani.

Gemignani's Italian Restaurant recently suffered a catastrophic fire. This beloved dining spot was not only a local favorite and landmark in the Copper Country, but also the primary source of income that supported the owners, Paul and Emily Gemignani and their two daughters, Aubrey and Lola.

The damage from the fire was devastating, and no one knows if it's feasible to rebuild; if so, it could take years. In the meantime, Paul and Emily will be in need of financial support as they work through the emotional and economic turmoil that comes with such a difficult loss. This restaurant was not only a special gathering place for locals but also a family heirloom owned by three generations of Gemignani's, including the late Rose Gemignani, former owner and Paul's mother. Her recent passing makes the loss of this business all the more difficult.

Please consider donating anything you can to help support Paul and Emily as they figure out the next steps. Every little bit helps.

Thank you for your generosity!
