Why Danilo donates

IMG 7499
The reason I do this? I have seen my parents always helping people in need, always present at friend's funerals, visiting sick friends in hospital, giving food bags to underprivileged people and contractors that worked with our family business and later I have seen the opposite when my father contracted Hepatitis C during a heart surgery when he was 37 (1981). Only in 2000 when I landed in NZ he was notified that it was incubated but now active illness and I have seen his condition deteriorating rapidly until he passed away in 2011. So I believe reciprocity creates a boomerang and snow ball effect that is good for everybody, for the whole society.

Thank you NZBlood Services team for the great work and smiles.

Regards,
Danilo
