Frank Uncovers Excellence in Leadership

Friends Helping Friends

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2009

Do you enjoy a sugary dessert at dinner? A couple coffees at Starbucks? A Whopper and supersized fries? A cigarette break? An extra beer or drink?

Coleen Davis has started a movement to help those who need medical help. Many small business owners and others have no health insurance. As a result, all of the money to pay for treatments and surgeries would have to come from their own pockets.

Consequently, most are unable to get the needed medical help and support their family at the same time.

Coleen:“I have a bit of a sweet tooth and have been known to super size those fries. So, I started thinking… What would happen if I cut back on my vices and used the savings to help a friend pay for the surgery? If I did that, it would help two people and my budget too… our friend and myself.”

If you would like to participate in this Friend 2 Friend effort, please send me a private message and I will share the information.

    Frank,

    Thank you so much for publicising my efforts to help others who may be unable to access the life saving treatment that they need. Until a friend of mine was forced to choose between his health and his family’s support, I was unaware of just how common this problem is.

    Take care,

    Coleen
