Support Ciro’s Pizzeria Owner in ICU – Help Us Move Him to Better Care

Dear friends, family, and loyal Ciro’s Pizzeria customers,

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support during an incredibly difficult time.

On May 30th, 2025, our beloved brother, husband, and co-owner of Ciro’s Pizzeria in Sanford, FL, Donald Clements was suddenly admitted to the ICU, where he remains in critical condition.

Donald was initially admitted for trouble breathing, which was soon diagnosed as double pneumonia. Since then, he has developed two additional lung infections, along with several other complications. He is now in acute respiratory failure, and his condition remains serious and fragile.

This has shaken our family and community deeply. He has been a constant and dedicated presence at Ciro's Pizzeria.

Donald has poured his heart into our community — not just through amazing food, but through his daily presence, working tirelessly to build Ciro’s into the beloved local staple it is today.

Now, he’s fighting for his life — and we’re doing everything we can to fight for him.

Why We Need Your Help

His condition has been serious, and we are urgently trying to transfer him to a hospital that offers more specialized care. Unfortunately, this move would be out-of-pocket — and the cost is substantial.

As the sole provider for his family, his absence has left a major financial strain on his wife and children.

Understandably, the financial strain is growing heavier by the day.

His devoted wife has been juggling everything he would normally handle: trying to keep up with medical expenses and bills — all while carrying the emotional weight of this crisis.

What Your Gift Will Help With:

• Out-of-pocket costs for hospital transfer, treatment, ICU costs.

• Household and utility bills for his wife and children during this crisis.

This is more than a fundraiser — it’s a call for community love. If you’ve ever enjoyed a meal from Ciro’s, shared a laugh with the staff, or felt the warmth of this family-owned place — now is the time to show your support.

Your donation, no matter how small, will help ease this burden so the family can focus on what matters most: healing and hope.

With all our love and thanks,

The Clements family
