Donald Ezikel Sato was born on April 28th in 1978. At least thatâs what heâs been told all his life. You see, Donny honestly had no idea if that was even his real name. He had grew up within the foster system. The thirty-seven year old was placed in the system the moment he was taken away from his birth motherâs arms. Because of this, Donny grew up tough. He grew up in Manhattan, New York and had to learn how to fight and stay strong. He learned how to take care of himself.
The social worker named Robin who had taken care of him all his childhood, they had formed a special bond since day one, and if you tried to argue then youâd be wrong since Don considered Robin to be his âmother.â He wasnât the best in school, always getting into fights and getting into trouble but Robin still stuck by him. She made sure he succeeded and even though the man didnât get straight Aâs but he did get some good Bâs and Câs. Though he was a loner, always have been and probably always will be. As Donny kept to himself, he found that he really loved fixing things. Anything with his hands. If something was broken, then Don would fix it. It was a hobby that he had picked up and was quite good at it.
It was mostly cars. While fixing cars Donny was able to get his hands dirty. He was able to get distracted. Distracted from love, but that was far from the truth. At just sixteen years old, when things were going good for a bit, he had met and fallen in love with someone named Olivia Wells. They were mad for each other, and Robin tried to advise him against it, considering they were going too fast but Donny didnât care. He was happy. For the first time in his life, the kid was happy. He and Olivia were together for a few years, but at seventeen she found out she was pregnant. Don had gotten her pregnant. Terrified and broke, he supported her with whatever she choose. They eventually broke up and Donny slipped up again. Getting into fights, getting into trouble. However, Robin made him go straight to work. She made him fall in love with fixing cars again and getting his hands dirty. After high school, and after his situation with Olivia, it was straight to work for him. Donny went to work in a shop fixing up cars and bikes and any other motor vehicle. He loved it honestly, and it paid enough for him to save up but not just enough to rent his own place so he would always crash at Robinâs.
However, Donny took up a second job which was freelance contracting and he thoroughly enjoyed it. That finally did it and Don put his first down payment on a place in Brooklyn, New York. Though nights were lonely and he filled that loneliness with different girls throughout the week, women heâs flirted with at the random bars heâd drink at. No one ever really stuck. That was until he had met one girl, one girl whom he tried so hard not to fall in love with. They were usually one night stands with the women heâs slept with throughout the years and throughout his time in Brooklyn, but this women? No. She was it for him and he knew it and it terrified him. He was ready to propose and though before he could pop the question, the women disappeared.
Donny was devastated honestly and he realized that he wasnât cut out to be committed or tied down to just one person. So, in order to clear his mind the man took a vacation for first time in his life. For some reason that spot was Alaska and Donny found Anchorage and has never left. Anchorage soon became home. Still a loaner, the man opened up his own shop called Satosâ Body & Co, and continues to be a freelance contractor as well on the side in town. Donny has been here for eight years. He still keeps in touch with Robin, and is forever grateful for her and her husband Chip who has helped him along the way. He has no interest in finding out about his biological parents
