During the holidays of 1983, Michael Esmond and his three daughters were forced to endure Christmas without heating or electricity in their home because they couldn’t afford to pay their utilities.
Today, the Florida-based Vietnam War veteran and business owner recalls that cold, bleak holiday season all too well. As such, he decided to do something wonderful for his local community; Esmond paid off utilities for a total of 36 families who were at risk of being without power for the holidays.
