Harvey Disner
does not consider himself a
philanthropist. Yet the founder and president of Detroit
Auto Brokers felt compelled to do something a little
extra after he was asked to sell a donated van to
benefit Jewish Hospice and Chaplaincy Network.
After working hard to get the best price possible for the
vehicle, Harvey donated his own commission to JHCN.
"This organization is doing great work for terminally ill
people," Harvey explained. "So when the opportunity
to do something good presented itself, I decided to do
it. This was my chance to do a mitzvah."
