“Danena – We Got Your Back”

Danena. Just to hear the name in a conversation makes you proud to say I know him; he is a friend. Because knowing him made him a friend. He is that kind of person. If you talked, he listened. And he did not just listen, he heard you. And if you had a problem, he would offer whatever assistance he could provide.

Many of us know him as the man that would greet you when you entered Loonies, Dead Freddies, The Barn, Greene Turtle or Sinix. His size and no-nonsense demeanor could intimidate you when you first saw him. But you would quickly learn that he was kind, caring and polite. A friend you were happy to introduce to your parents.

He grew up in Randallstown, Md. Joined the Marines. Then worked at Pabst Enterprises and Bond Distributers. And left a trail of friendships that he still enjoys today.

The only time Danena could be considered dangerous is during Football season. An avid fan of the sport, he prefers College Football, and Florida State University is his team. When he is watching the game, it is best to keep a safe distance. He can often become very animated and loud.

And he always has your back. If you need a ride, he is there. If you have a situation, he will help. No hesitation, no complaints, no excuses. He always showed up.

Danena has always worked. The jobs might change, but he kept working. He believed in being employed. He has always been both physically and mentally, strong, energetic, and productive. Lately though, that has become a problem.

His health problems have multiplied and are taking a toll on his body. He now goes to Dialysis three times a week for several hours a day. To add to it, his heart is giving out on him. He is now a candidate for a heart transplant.

These conditions and hospitalizations have caused Danena to lose days and weeks of work. Between medical expenses and the loss of income due to addressing his medical needs. This has placed him in a crisis with his financial situation. HE NEEDS OUR HELP.
