On Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Big City Diner hosted a special fundraising drive to help the four Dikito Children after being orphaned on April 25, 2008 when their father murdered Della Lynn Dikito (Mother) and then turned the gun on himself. As of June 21, 2008 Big City Diner announced that they raised more than $10,000 for the kids from Ewa Beach. The company employs two of Della's sisters and the money will be used to help pay the mortgage so that the kids may remain in the home as they wish.

 

Big City Diner donated 15% of sales when guests presented a special flyer at all (5) five of its locations.

 

Verizon Wireless has generously donated four wireless telephones to the Dikito Children through their Hope Line program which aims to help victims of Domestic Violence. The phones are loaded with pre-paid minutes and will help to alleviate the cost of Blayne, Brelynn, Bronlyn and Brenna's current mobile service for the months to come. It will allow them to communicate with each other, their family and counselors.

 

A special Mahalo to the Cox Radio Hawaii group for their assistance in running Public Service Announcements and promoting the fundraiser on their websites. Their support as a radio partner played an important role in supporting the children.
