If you have visited our restaurant over the years, you’ve likely been touched by the magic of Franco. Whether it was a card trick that left you speechless or a disappearing coin that made a child giggle, Franco has spent decades making our community feel special. He is more than an employee; he is the heart of our restaurant family.

Recently, Franco received the devastating diagnosis of throat cancer. The man who has spent his life bringing joy to others is now facing a journey that will require immense strength and support. His battle begins on March 3rd, with an intensive chemotherapy regimen that includes a 4-day continuous administration at home. Because of the nature of his illness and the side effects of treatment, Franco will be unable to work and will require dedicated in-home care to manage his recovery and daily needs.

As Franco prepares for this fight, we want to ensure he doesn't have to worry about the financial burden of medical bills and home health costs. We are raising funds to cover professional in-home caregiving during his 4-day home treatments, daily living expenses, specialized nutrition, and medical co-pays not covered by insurance. Franco has spent years making things 'disappear' with his magic—let’s help his financial stress disappear so he can focus entirely on healing. Please consider donating, or sharing this page with your friends and family. Let's show Franco that the community he loves is standing right behind him.
