Please click, share this, and help my neighbor, Marieta. It’s honestly ridiculous that we have to vote like this to decide which child gets the help they need—every single one of these kids is fighting a battle. But given how much these families are struggling financially, this is the only way to get things done right now. Let's step up and help!

I honestly had no clue where to dump this, so I’m just tossing it here since I know a ton of you guys actually hang out on this board. Look, let’s be real—life is kicking everyone's teeth in lately and nobody's having it easy, but I truly believe there’s still enough heart left in people to step up when things get ugly. When the bureaucracy and all those faceless government agencies couldn't care less about the little guy, we've gotta look out for each other, right? Just take a second to read this, it won't kill you to "waste" a couple of minutes of your life.

Does anyone happen to know how the family of the late Pavle Grubišić Čaba is doing lately? I was wondering if they might need a hand—and if they do, what would be the best way for us to step up and help them out?

The auction actually wrapped up at midnight last night.

In total, we managed to pull in about $500 between the direct donations and the jersey sales.

IMPORTANT!!!! Listen up, everyone. You all know what’s going on over in Gunner and the surrounding areas. Things aren't looking great, but honestly, most people are just staying quiet about it. Help isn't reaching the folks who need it, or if it does, it’s barely a trickle. The whole country was riding a wave of euphoria for a few days, but now it feels like everyone has just moved on. Well, we aren't moving on. Our fan club has always been the first to step up whenever things get rough, so we’re running another humanitarian drive, similar to the one we did just over a month ago. This Saturday, we’re heading straight to the site to help those who are hurting the most. If you want to catch an organized bus, you can sign up at the BBB fan club this Friday between 4 PM and 9 PM, or at the gift shop on Fifth Avenue from 10 AM to 8 PM. We’re charging a symbolic fee of $20 for the ride, though you're more than welcome to just drive yourself there. Look, anyone—and I mean absolutely anyone—can spare a single day of their life to help people in need. And for those of you who can't make it, don't just sit there; chip in by covering travel costs for the crew or donating whatever cash you can. We also desperately need supplies on the ground: bedding, hygiene products, diapers, baby supplies, and non-perishable food (oil, water, flour, etc.). Don't be lazy. Help out however you can. Please spread the word to everyone you know. See you Saturday!!!!

Volunteer Drive in Paradise Village - We Need You

This Saturday, the little dragon volunteers are heading out to Paradise Village to drop off furniture, rugs, bedding, lamps, and basically everything else needed to get kids' bedrooms set up across the whole town. We lost two people to the flu, so we’ve actually got three spots open on the bus and/or in the vans. Transportation and food are on us—we just need hands on deck. Honestly, we could really use some guys to help out; the bus is pretty much packed with ladies, and we've got plenty of heavy lifting, unloading, loading, and furniture assembly ahead of us.

We’re rolling out at 6 AM from the bus station near The Herald on Fifth Avenue and will be back in the evening once everything is handed out. It’ll be one small bus full of volunteers and two vans loaded down with donations.

If you're interested, give us a shout at 091 567 0618.

Hope to see you there

Hey everyone, I’m sure you all caught the news last night. Things in Gunner are looking pretty grim right now. All the food supplies from the Red Cross have been completely wiped out, and a huge chunk of the community doesn't even have enough to grab a slice of bread. In a few days, the BBB fan club is heading straight into the heart of it to deliver humanitarian aid, and we’re calling on anyone who can afford to help out. If you can spare anything, please drop off some food—flour, oil, pasta, rice, canned goods... whatever you can manage. The club will be working tonight starting at 8:00 PM, and then again tomorrow from 3:00 PM through the rest of the afternoon. Get in touch with the crew, spread the word to your friends whether they're fans or not, and get this on Facebook. Let's try to make things a little easier for people during these rough times.

LISTEN UP, EVERYONE!!!! From Peter III, they’re calling on the BBB fan club to show up in force for a blood drive on Friday, October 9th, from 3 PM to 6 PM. If you’re healthy enough to give, please try to make it out. Showing up could mean helping someone recover or even saving a life—it’s that simple. Don't be lazy about it; send a quick text, rally the crew, and get people moving... see you there👍

Over at Main 131, we’re hitting a wall. Every single blood type except B+ and AB+ is sitting right on the edge of critical. If you’re healthy enough to help, I’m calling on everyone to step up and swing by this Friday between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

Over at Main 131, we’re hitting a wall. Every single blood type is scraping the bottom of the barrel right now, except for B+ and AB+. It’s getting serious. I’m calling on anyone who is healthy enough to step up and swing by the donation center TOMORROW between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM. We need bodies in those chairs.

Listen up, everyone. We need to step up for one of our own who’s going through it right now. If you can swing it, please drop by the BBB fan club over on Zvonimir tonight or anytime after 6 PM tomorrow. We're collecting donations for Marian Simic—he was left with permanent disabilities during an away game about 25 seasons ago, and let me tell you, he's fighting a much harder battle than most of us will ever face. Cash is great, but if you have some non-perishables like canned goods, oil, flour, rice, or pasta, we'll take those too.
For those of you who find it easier to just send a transfer, his info is: HR 4624070003206203663. OTP Bank, Marian Simic, Main 131, Levantine Quarter.
Huge thanks to anyone willing to help out. It takes a real person to show this kind of heart.

Some might remember the successful charity drive organized by the Dinamo fan club from Appalachia for the Pelesk family in Pustodol a few years back. Well, we’ve decided to step up once again, trying to make Christmas a little brighter for another hardworking family out in the sticks.
The original plan was to run a public fundraiser for cash and household essentials—kind of like a standard community drive—but since the parents really wanted to shield their kids from the spotlight, we changed tactics. We’re helping this humble, incredibly resilient, and genuinely good family discreetly, without putting their names in the headlines.
Here is the situation: you have a father living on disability, a mother who stays home to provide around-the-clock care for her seriously ill daughter, and a hardworking high schooler. It’s a heavy story. The girl, who is ten now, was born with developmental challenges and requires constant attention. For years, her mother has been fighting an uphill battle against the bureaucracy just to get recognized as a full-time caregiver. Anyone who meets the mother can see her grit; she is relentless when it comes to her daughter’s progress. Despite doctors saying the girl might never walk, hours of daily physical therapy have yielded incredible results. Through sheer willpower, they manage to maintain some semblance of a normal life. The father used to be the provider, but he suffered a major workplace accident six years ago. He barely survived a massive coma after sustaining severe head and spinal injuries, leaving him unable to work. Since then, the family has been scraping by on $833 disability checks and child benefits. They live in a remote part of Appalachia, making simple trips to the grocery store, the doctor, or school a real struggle. Their home is modest and tidy, but there’s a catch—it sits on a landslide zone, and a crack has formed in one of the walls, large enough to let the daylight peek through.
Every single day, these parents fight to give their children a decent life and a shot at a better future. Since Dinamo fans live by the motto "NEVER GIVE UP," we’re asking you to show that same spirit for people who truly need it. You can help with money, food, clothes, household supplies, or even small items donated from the heart, just so this family of four can experience a slightly more peaceful Christmas.

FOR MORE DETAILS (like clothing sizes, etc.) OR TO MAKE A DONATION, PLEASE CONTACT US AT

Really appreciate everyone stepping up and showing some heart.

Is that account still active?

Hey everyone, we got any ceramic tile pros on here?
A buddy of mine from the stands—single dad with a little kid—is trying to renovate his bathroom and he’s in desperate need of some reliable contractors right now.

I actually have a really skilled contractor right here in my neighborhood, though I highly doubt he’ll take on any pro bono work if you haven't already found someone...
