Mailbag - Sal Dimiceli

I finished reading about Sal Dimiceli and had tears rolling down my face. Here is a man who did not grow up privileged yet became a generous, kind person who is making a difference in so many lives. This was a wonderful story for the holidays, but its message is timeless. It should never be a sacrifice to help anyone who is in need.

Thank you, Mr. Dimiceli. Your story has made me believe in good people again.

I just read about the wedding of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones. It was beautiful, and I don’t for one minute resent the money they spent, but then I came to the story of Sal Dimiceli and the poverty In Pembroke Township, and I had to ask myself, “What is wrong with this picture?” Thank God for people like Mr. Dimiceli, who has the wealth and spreads it around.
