Support Federico's Heart Surgery Recovery

Hi, my name is Sarah, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my father, Federico, a proud small business owner, father, and community member.

Recently, my dad underwent major open-heart surgery. While the procedure went as planned, he is currently facing complications that have kept him in the hospital and on a ventilator. He is awake but unable to breathe on his own, and his recovery will take time, possibly months, because he’s also going through heart failure.

My dad is the heart and soul behind Pita Pockets KB, a business he built from the ground up and poured his life into. Anyone who knows him knows how hard he works and how much pride he takes in serving his community.

Unfortunately, during this time, he is unable to work or manage the business, and the bills—both personal and business-related—haven’t stopped.

We are doing everything we can to support him, but we’ve reached a point where we need help to keep things afloat—covering basic expenses, medical-related costs, and keeping his restaurant from shutting down while he recovers.

This isn’t easy to ask, but if you’re able to contribute, share, or even just send positive thoughts, it would mean the world to our family. Every donation, no matter the size, helps give my dad the time he needs to heal without losing the business he loves.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, your kindness, and for standing by us during one of the hardest times our family has faced.
