One Man Makes A Difference

A Lake Geneva man is being recognized nationally for his generosity and compassion.  CNN just featured Sal Dimiceli in its "CNN Heroes" segment after learning about all the people in his town he's personally helped.

Dimiceli has a newspaper column in the Lake Geneva News called The Time Is Now To Help.   People who have fallen on hard times write to Dimiceli and he personally responds to them to try and help.  He's being considered a "Dear Abby" for the down and out.

Here's an example of one recent letter written to him by a woman requesting he help her elderly mother.  In this case, you can read how he helped move the mother in with her daughter and gave them some financial assistance too.

I love this story because it proves that one man with a good heart can truly make a difference.  Dimiceli created an official non-profit to help his cause, which has the same name as his column, The Time Is Now To Help
