Love & Hope Delivered
'“To see Anthony and his team continue to give to the community is such an amazing gift. I have seen that Anthony’s Way has donated a large amount to the Child Life at Corewell Health to help so many other children who are in the hospital. His foundation has also given several scholarships to High School Seniors going on to college to help with college costs. He will live in my heart always. Just hearing his name always makes me smile and feel so proud to have cared for such an amazing child.”
