We believe that more people should be as generous and caring and more importantly, they should be news worthy. If you find a story of anyone that has done anything good, we welcome your emails to candles@100candles.com and we will post their story on our site. We believe that if people are bombarded with good news, it will inspire them to do good for others!
Denzel Washington and his family visited the troops at Brook Army Medical Center, in San Antonio, Texas (BAMC) the other day. This is where soldiers who have been evacuated from Germany come to be hospitalized in the United States, especially burn victims. There are some buildings there called Fisher Houses. The Fisher House is a Hotel where soldiers' families can stay for little or no charge, while their soldier is staying on base. But as you can imagine, they are almost filled most of the time.
While Denzel Washington was visiting BAMC, they gave him a tour of one of the Fisher Houses. He asked how much one of them would cost to build. He took his cheque book out and wrote a cheque for the full amount right there on the spot. The soldiers were amazed to hear this story and wanted to get the word out to the American public, because it warmed their hearts to hear it.
