When he was 7,he was confused about why there were homeless people sleeping on the streets.He asked his mother why.

When a family friend was diagnosed (診斷) with cancer last summer,Michael and his parents purchased a pre-made care package-a collection of products and comfort items especially tailored for patients going through cancer treatment.
After his grandmother went through chemotherapy (化療) for lymphoma (淋巴瘤),Michael asked his mom what things would make his grandma feel better.She suggested a soft,warm blanket and socks; sugar-free gum; lip balm (香脂); hand sanitizer (消毒劑) and a soft toothbrush.
On Dec 18,after Michael finished his last exam,he headed home to finish packing about 30gift bags.The next day,he and his mom visited a nearby cancer center to hand out the care packages.
