Paying it forward

Last week I asked for anyone in the Cleveland area to help me out with a Family Service contact and Coach Bill stepped up to the plate. After a few e-mails and phone calls back and forth between the three of us he finally got a hold of this lady who was alone in a strange city and scared.
He is going to help her all he can and they might even try to have lunch on Sunday.
Just thought it was appropriate to post a good story about selfless and random acts of kindness and how we really DO need each other.
Thank you again Bill...

You did good, Linda!....you always do!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Bill, your generosity is greatly appreciated. And for the un-known and un-named, they know they are apreciated too.
