A heartfelt fundraiser by friends of Dominick.
While Dominick was working on his programs to help others he was diagnosed with macular degeneration in his left eye. This is very concerning, especially because he is totally blind in his right eye. He is undergoing a series of treatments being performed by the Veterans Administration. He is grateful for that.
THE MISSION
Help Those in Need - Honor Veterans and Acts Of Kindness
At a young age Dominick realized that when the good people of the world are able to interact, we find that our hearts and souls are truly the same. He began applying his innovative skills to develop a number of engaging, intercultural. programs that will bring people together. They will be able to share their fascinating cultures, their hopes for the future and give their positive ideas a voice.
One of Dominick’s most important initiatives is to honor our Veterans. Their selfless service and sacrifices make it possible for us to enjoy the freedoms many others long for. We are the Land of the Free - BECAUSE of the BRAVE.
JOY AND COMPASSION
Children In Need
Before Dominick's setbacks began he always welcomed the opportunity to learn about people's cultural backgrounds. One of his associates was from an impoverished country. Her family's and neighbor’s difficulties were very moving to Dominick. Even though his program wasn’t ready at that time, Dominick decided to fund an intercultural collaboration with his associate. The event was for the children. Its purpose was to give the children some joy, food, medical attention and gifts. His associate’s responsibility was to organize the event through her family, friends and contacts. Dominick funded it. His contribution was a modest amount by our standards, but it went a long way. Inspired by the event's success and impact on the children and the community Dominick continued to help them with other needs when he was able.
THE CREST OF HONOR ™
Cherish The Valor Of All Veterans, Always.
We truly live in the Land Of The Free
BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
Dominick created The Crest Of Honor to enable everyone to forever thank our Veterans - past, present and future. All are noble. All are vital. All complete the critical links in the chain of command that are necessary to guarantee our freedoms.
With this special initiative you will have a number of heartfelt ways to ‘show’ your gratitude to a veteran, even if they are a stranger walking by. You will be able to ‘wear’ your tribute with a patriotic pendant, lapel pin, embroidered emblem, Bold Glory applique, or with window displays and more - always being designed. You may even commission a Proud Glory Sculpture. These ‘visual tributes’ will be appreciated by all Veterans and uplifting to those suffering from depression.They will be reassured of your gratitude
WIN BY LOVE
Coming Soon
Dominick feels that the interactive elements of his programs and their intercultural reach to help others would best serve the people through a nonprofit Foundation. Its name reflects its essence: WORLDWIDE INTERACTIVE NEIGHBORS, (WIN). Its mantra is ‘WIN BY LOVE’. As with most of his programs the important initial elements for development of the foundation have been done. With your help they will be completed in the most advantageous sequence.
TWO DEBILITATING SETBACKS
Everything had been moving along nicely, then two debilitating setbacks struck. The first was Covid 19. This crisis devastated his design business. Many people lost their jobs and others had reduced income. They were not able to spend beyond essential needs. Dominick’s problem worsened because most of his business clients were in the personal grooming services industry. Many were mandated to close by the concerns of Covid 19. This effectively shut down Dominick’s business also.
Then the eyesight setback struck Dominick. His sight is now very limited, making it very difficult and eye-straining to work on his programs.
The irony: His sight has been compromised, but his ‘vision’ for the future has not. With your help Dominick will continue to do whatever he can to realize the dream.
FUNDING CONSIDERATIONS
SUPPORT DOMINICK
to continue his mission of helping others and to
Honor Our Veterans

> A skilled full stack web specialist to develop the technical requirements for each interactive program and work with Dominick on the websites..
> An assistant to help him with preparation, typing, and bookkeeping etc., as required.
THE CREST OF HONOR ™
This Initiative will help in many ways: It can inspire patriotic service to our country. Provide fair income for the suppliers and program administrators, some of whom will be Veterans. Enable Dominick to create new quality of life programs for the Worldwide Interactive Neighbors foundation, where it will continue to help more people as its programs expand.
