Help Alberto Rebuild His Life and Business

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind-Hearted Strangers,

I’m reaching out with a heartfelt request for help on behalf of my beloved grandfather, Alberto. For years, my grandfather has poured his heart and soul into his beloved pizza Italian restaurant business, a place where many in our community gathered for good food and warm conversations. His pizza was more than just a meal—it was a slice of happiness and a symbol of his dedication and love for what he did for the community for over 30 years.

Recently, life threw some tough challenges his way. Due to a combination of factors beyond his control, my grandfather's pizza business had to close its doors. This was a devastating blow, not just for him personally but also for the local community that cherished his delicious pies and his kind spirit.

As if that wasn’t enough, he faced another hurdle when his rent was raised significantly. With his business no longer bringing in enough income for this new higher rent, it became nearly impossible for him to meet this new financial demand. Just as he was grappling with these pressures, he received even more distressing news: his heart was in serious condition, requiring a pacemaker to be implanted.

At 78 years old, my grandfather is confronting these challenges with the same grit and grace he’s always shown. But the strain has been overwhelming. The cost of his medical procedure, combined with the struggle to cover basic living expenses, has put him in an incredibly difficult position, now him and I have been struggling to find work and have been staying in a hotel after facing a very tough eviction where I his grandson Lee had to move everything from our apartment by myself due to my family being unable to lift and move things, I had to rent a truck and have things moved within a day or else we lost everything that we had, we now only have one car after losing two our other cars my grandparents had. He and my grandmother no longer have a place to live and now just residing at a hotel with the little money we have and cannot cover their deposit to get into a new place to live or to bring the business back, I am currently doing my best to find work together with him with no luck yet, we are in serious need in help of getting back on our feet again.

That’s where we hope to make a difference. We’re launching this GoFundMe campaign to help ease his financial burden and support his recovery and once again giving him a place to live and possibly new business again. Your generous contributions will go directly toward covering:

The medical expenses related to his pacemaker surgery and follow-up care

Essential living expenses during this challenging time

Giving him a chance to reopen new business

We believe that with your support, he can find some relief and regain his footing. Any amount you can contribute will make a significant impact, and if you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help would mean the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my grandfather Alberto's story and for any support you can provide. Your kindness and generosity are deeply appreciated and will be remembered with heartfelt gratitude.

With sincere thanks,

Lee E Wise (Alberto's grandson)
