Hi, my name is Frank Troiano. I'm one of many band members that have the pleasure of having Dave as their drummer. On Friday May 5th 2023 Dave was driving on the 60 freeway late at night going home after playing a gig. He was suddenly hit from behind so hard that it pushed the back of his car and his drumset into him in the drivers seat. The airbags deployed and by the time he could look out the window he realized there was no other car around and was in the middle of the freeway. He passes out before he could call dial 911 and wakes up at Pomona Valley Hospital.

It's a miracle he didn't get killed. However his right shoulder was dislocated, and has a fractured Humerus, Scapula and a few ribs. He had surgery and they installed a plate and some screws in his shoulder.

I've never prompted a fundraiser before so I need help getting the word out. So many friends have asked how they could help. So obviously we can help with some of the expenses that insurance falls short in. Like getting a car, drum set and what ever medical and other bills since he can't work his day job or any gigs for awhile.

Dave is one of the most dependable, likable solid individuals you could hope to know and work with and now he could use some support. Thank you in advance for your donation.
