Donate to Michael Mandarino's Journey of Hope

A benefit for a good friend and also a very giving person himself with helping others. A situation like this is a bad deal being too young to retire and thrown to the wolves financially in the blink of an eye. Govt standards changed over the years for disability; after you are no longer employed and not receiving any financial assistance like unemployment, etc., you have to go 5 months without any money coming in before being eligible for disability. Had my friends not helped us when I went down for the count, we could have lost our home, so I know what it's like.

Benefit for Michael Mandarino

Michael had an unfortunate health issue in early August of this year that has left him blind in his right eye and struggling with very poor low vision in his left eye being legally blind. Michael has had 2 eye strokes causing permanent irreversible optic nerve damage and is no longer able to see to be able to work, drive, or do the many things he loved to do like riding his motorcycle, spectacular photography work, and going out to see live bands perform. Due to his condition, he has lost his job and is unable to work.

Donations are greatly appreciated.
