Bayview Ave. restaurateur Otta Zapotocky is inviting local residents to help an area man who has been diagnosed with stage-four liver cancer. Eduart Qose and his lovely family, wife Maria and daughters Erina, 10, and Nikola, 6, left for Germany on Sunday in the hope that unique treatment there can help him. Meanwhile, friends here have organized a Leaside Lunch for Life on Sunday, November 27, 2016 from 12 to 3 p.m. as a chance to have the proceeds of lunch go to the Qose family to help deal with the costly treatment and other expenses of this crisis. People can help by having lunch at Otta’s restaurant, Val d’Isere, 1581 Bayview. Family and friends have shown amazing support, but treatment has exhausted their resources. Otta asks that as many as possible join him for a quick bite and glass of wine to show – and give — support. If you can’t attend, a donation may be made here.
