Funds for Ezio's new Barbershop

On January 31st a fire destroyed the business of a dear family member Ezio Metallo. His barbershop in Sault Ste. Marie has been part of the downtown fabric for 15 years.

We have started this go-fund-me page to help him get back on his feet and open up a new shop as soon as possible. This is an urgent ask as the fire completely destroyed the building with all of his equipment, chairs...everything...and has put him out a job.

Ezio's customers will tell you countless stories of him showing up early or staying late to accommodate their needs. He has helped Groomsmen get to weddings on time, children overcome their fear of their first haircut and many seniors with a home visit at no extra charge. He cares for his customers. His customers are his family. 

What further adds to this story and why we're doubling our efforts to rally around him and his family, given the added hardship they have endured this year. Only a few months ago he lost his daughter unexpectedly. 

So this is an ask from us to you, to help our Ezio and his family, our family. 

Donate any $ amount you can spare and share this link with more family and friends and Saultites in town and around the world, who can help.

We've attached a few photos of Ezio, the news coverage and also positive memories such as his grandson's first hair cut only 2 weeks ago.

Ezio Metallo is a good man. He deserves our helping hand during his difficult time..and we thank you for taking the time.
