Helping Vinny's Family, a loved Drift Builder.
Donation protected
Hi, my name is David and I am starting a fundraiser for Vinny who was unfortunately involved in a terrible motor vehicle accident. This fundraising is to HELP relieve Vinny & his family with expenses over the next several months as he focuses his energy on recovery.
This past weekend, Vinny traveled to Georgia where he was set to begin training to become a technician for Tesla service. This was to support his household & family of 3 including his son.
Unfortunately on Saturday 4/8/2023, Vinny was on his way down a highway in the early morning when a vehicle traveling at speed, collided with another in front of him. Vinny "THE GOOD GUY" that he is, and that I know did exactly as we'd expect him to, he stopped to potentially offer some assistance.
Shortly after... the Tesla Vinny was inside, was struck by a Semi-Truck as it attempted to steer clear of other vehicles, only to collide with Vinny who occupied the vehicle on the shoulder of the roadway.
It is a blessing, he is still here with us... he was cut out of the vehicle and transported to Grady Memorial Hospital. Vinny unfortunately was left with spinal fractures & other injuries. (Friends & Family) Our focus now is to support his recovery... and worrying about bills at home, and not being able to work for some time is counter-productive.
So I call on Friends, Family, Car Community, and Drift Community to come together and RALLY in some support for Vinny & His Family. Whether you DONATE $5 or $500 any amount will be greatly appreciated.
