Support Dino's Recovery from Injury

PLEASE HELP DINO GET BACK ON HIS FEET!

David DiBernardinis Jr. (aka Dino) is an Army Veteran, TWO-time Purple Heart recipient, Restaurant Chef & Manager, Drum-maker, & longest-serving Ecstatic Dance (alcohol & drug-free) party DJ in Tampa Bay that is in DIRE NEED of our community's HELP! An unbelievable avalanche of misfortune has fallen upon him one after another this past year!

As if rounds of chemotherapy treatment for his on-going battle with CANCER isn't enough, Dino recently suffered a severe & unfortunate hand accident while shucking oysters at the restaurant that has left him unable to work due to crippling PAIN. The pain is more severe than the two bullet wounds he suffered in army combat and causes him to blackout unconscious. He is awaiting surgery from the slow-moving Tampa VA hospital system, but has since been EVICTED from his home due to his inability to pay the past two month's rent. The restaurant also refused to pay him worker's compensation, and he has been denied unemployment because one must still 'be able to work to qualify'.

On top of this, Dino's Jeep has just bit the dust, so he can't drive anywhere for other gig work teaching or DJing. He has been camping outdoors for weeks during the recent cold front. He has had to give up his two beloved dogs. ALL of this has triggered his PTSD and he has had to seek a psychiatric intervention. He is trying to hang on until the VA can get him a room at a 'residential PTSD' treatment center until hand surgery. He has no family in the area that can help him, and his father passed away this past year up north.  

ANY amount you can donate will help Dino find a new apartment after his hand surgery, so that he can recover & start working at a restaurant to save money again. It will also help him fix his Jeep, or purchase a used vehicle so that he can actually drive to work again. Dino is an incredible human that has served his Country, his friends, & his Community in SO many ways - whether saving lives on the battlefield, protecting friends against substance abuse, or spreading light on the dancefloor. Please HELP us rescue Dino up from 'rock bottom' - a place that has been no fault of his own. May GOD BLESS America, YOUR Kind generosity, & Dino.
