Michael DeRosa hasn't added a story.
Have you ever heard the saying "do good things and good things will happen?" I met this guy about a year ago, it was his first week working at my job, my partner was out sick, so we got paired up together, and this is the day this man made an impression on my life. I needed an air conditioner and was venting to him that I had to get one and he quickly said, "you know what, I have one in my garage, I can give you it, I just have to dig it out." I told him not to worry about it, but the next morning he had it in his car to give to me, not only that he asked when he could come by to help me put it in. This man had me step back and think he was crazy, damn i didn't know him, he didn't know me, so why be so kind? As the year went on I watched and saw how generous and kind this man is and how not one person could say not one thing bad about him. On July 22nd, 2014, this man, Robert Persaud, was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer at the age of 31, yes just 31, and for the foreseeable future he will be trying to beat this bomb shell that has landed on his and his families lives. Robert has a wife of 8 years, Debbie, a daughter, Dana, who is 3 years old and step daughter, Crystal, who is 15. He is continuing to come to work through the pain he already has and will continue to work through the treatments so he won't lose his coverage and leave his family in debt if things go south. So I ask you if you could afford to donate anything to help him and his family out please donate, and I mean please because he would do it for you.
