Mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.
Mother’s love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible.
Dustin Vitale is a mama’s boy as he admits, he thanks her for all the privileges and to show gratitude he cooks her breakfast every morning.
His mother Gloria had always dreamed of visiting Egypt to see the Pyramids, when she was diagnosed with terminal bladder cancer last year, he decided he would try to make her wish come true and take her on one last trip. He also wanted to bring along all 14 family members.
Dustin works as a middle school teacher in Philadelphia and could never afford the $10,000 to bring everyone to the trip, still he thought he could raise the money by selling cheesesteaks, even though he doesn’t own a restaurant.
“I got a kitchen, though,” he said, with the help of his mom, her love and support and her recipe he started making sandwiches that were so big no container could contain them. He pedalled them to friends and family.
Those people must have told their friends and family, too. Almost immediately cars started double-parking outside his house. Faces he didn’t recognize started showing up at his front door.
“Get your mom to Egypt,” one customer said.
“Trying man, trying,” Dustin said.
Word started to spread on social media and before he knew it, people were lining up down the block. A food truck operator offered his services and in just six weeks Dustin raised all the money he needed and then some. He had made $18,000.
“If she would have asked to go to the moon, I would have made that happen, as well,” Dustin said.
Their trip is planned for later this year. Gloria says Cleopatra never had it so good. “The love, it’s overwhelming, you know.”
“She’s probably mentally as healthy as she has ever been in her whole life,” Dustin said.
