I was truly blessed when I was younger.
I was abandoned when I was only three years old, but I was adopted by a very wealthy family in town.
They took pity on me and brought me into their life and their home. I could never have asked for a more loving mother and father. My mother died when I was twelve. She had cancer and it took a long time to take her life. My father couldn’t stand the thought of living without her, and he decided to end his own life five years later. I was devastated when my mother and my father were both going but they left me a fortune and a legacy. My dad owned a very large company but produces heating and air conditioning equipment. When my dad took his life, I suddenly became the owner of this heating and air conditioning equipment company. It was a multimillion-dollar company and I wasn’t ready to be a leader at 17 years old. Thankfully I had a couple of great mentors that helped me do great things with the money. We set up a nonprofit organization and we provide heating and air conditioning equipment to low-income families that cannot afford replacements. We also have a special fund for non profit repairs and this is done at the discretion of each branch manager. My mom and dad gave me a brand new lease on life and I’m doing my best to pay it forward. I just wish they were here to share all of these memories with me.
