Our Father's Final Wishes

Donation protected
We are trying to raise money to honor our father's final wish, which was to be buried in Italy near his brother. Unfortunately due to having faced multiple health issues that took him away from his business for an entire year, he depleted all of his savings. We want to be able to honor our father's wish to be buried in his home town in Italy.  He worked his entire life since he was a young boy in Italy. He started working for a cobbler fixing shoes when he was 10 years old but decided it was not for him, then he began working as a barber at age 12 and opened his first Barbershop at the age of 16. He has worked hard as a Barber for 60 years to support his family. 

His health issues began in November 2017. He spent several months in the hospital and nursing home. He went back into the hospital in the middle of May on our mother, his wife's birthday.  He went through many physical struggles while he was in the hospital and the nursing home to get rehab until his untimely passing on December 1st. It pains us greatly to not be able to fulfill his final request. The family asks for your help and kindness so that he can be at peace next to his brother in Italy.  Anything you can do to help would be much appreciated.
