Pay It Forward Rodson and Oda


Rodson, a former classmate, and his wife Oda stayed in our apartment for a few days from May 16-21.​   Oda fetched Rodson, who resigned from Philips due to his medical condition which I am not at liberty to divulge.  I'm hoping things​ ​get better over time​ ​for my friend.  Going back to the Philippines to stay with his family is a step in the right direction.

​Both Rodson and Oda have been very vocal about their gratitude for our "help and kindness in their darkest hours" and were keen to 'repay' it in some way.  But I've told them that the best thank you would be for them to just Pay It Forward.  A simple but very powerful concept we should all embrace and practice.
