Terra Linda HS Student Rony Dionico Recovery Fund

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you all that Rony Dionico was wrongfully attacked by another student this past week and has suffered extreme eye injuries including a fractured orbital socket due to the incident. We believe Rony to be a victim of racially motivated hate crime and hope to bring awareness to the issue through this platform. Heartbroken does not describe hearing this news or the unjust repercussions he and his family face in the aftermath. The sudden medical costs are one component, but we are hoping to bring justice for Rony in this matter through a hearing process.

Those who have the pleasure of knowing Rony know him to be kind, loving, and incredibly hard-working. He has been a part of the family at Vin Antico and Belly Deli for the past year and balances this as a Junior at Terra Linda High School, where the incident happened. Rony’s work ethic and precision, as well as the joy that he brings to his coworkers, is indescribable. We recognize him for being a key component of our team here, which is why we feel so strongly about spreading this story.

We’re asking you to help us raise $5,000 for Rony and his family to aid in hospital bills, court matters, and the time Rony has to take off from work. No donation is too small, and we thank you for any contribution you can make. It is easy for us here at Vin Antico to love Rony for the smiles he brings to us at work, but we are looking for others who are willing to help share our gratitude while he makes a speedy recovery. Thank you for your consideration.

With Love,

Friends and Family at Vin Antico
