When I was eighteen, I started to working at CVS Distribution Center. I wasn’t very happy I didn’t know anybody, working like a ghostly figure for months no one noticed. All of that changed when I was invited to join a Fantasy Football League. I did not know anybody in the league there was a weird feeling at first, our league was a very diversified group with many different personalities, and ethnicities.

Tony’s family was faced with paying for the cost of the burial which was very expensive. So my friends and I came together and decided to put our money in to help the family. We all got whatever savings we had and put the money together for his family. He really appreciated our generous help and was something we would never forget.

My group of friends is very diversified, consisting of many ethnicities, ages, and religions. At first we came together for Fantasy Football not knowing what to expect.
