Help us get him this treatment so he can continue to fulfill his calling and serve others. David was born in Brazil and immigrated to the United States with his parents in 1983. He is a patriot and loves his country and his family immensely. David found his true calling when he joined the United States Army as a Religious Affairs Specialist in August of 2009. He deployed as a 56M to Korea and Afghanistan. David is a proud husband and father to three, one of whom has special needs.
