Goosebumps!
I’m almost at a loss for words to describe my emotions when my friend, B+ Hero Danny Feltwell, came to my office with a surprise. As background, Danny is a 13 year old New Jersey boy and I’ve known him virtually his entire life. He has battled cancer twice (first diagnosed at 2 years old), has been through a bone marrow transplant, and endured NUMEROUS, serious side effect challenges like Graft vs Host Disease, just to name one. He has literally grown up in hospitals.
Well, Danny is a HUGE card collector - baseball, football, basketball…you name it. He decided that he wanted to sell one and give the proceeds to The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation to help another family in need. Danny and his Dad, Dan, stopped by our office to give me five $100 bills!!! How many 13 year old kids would do that???!!!
As if that’s not enough, I treasure the note in the card that he gave me even more.
“Thank you so much for all you do for me and the kids. I am so grateful for all you do and I wanted to help families and give them some happiness like you gave me. I love you and the family so much. Thank you. Love, Danny”
Hard to describe in words, but my heart is filled and I’m covered with goosebumps!
