Neuware - Some people spend a lifetime looking for their life's purpose. Others just know. Eugene 'Gene' Verdu had a calling. From the time he was a child, he knew he was meant to help others by any means possible. At Your Service recounts this universally loved man's extraordinary life as a teacher and philanthropist. From the age of 17, he was a leader in humanitarian outreach. Following years of volunteer work in Central America, he founded the Belize Children's Project. This organization connects medical professionals, caregivers, and host families with children who have orthopedic disabilities and provides high-quality medical care at no cost to these children. Through his hard work with the Belize Children's Project, Gene saw firsthand the value that a network of philanthropists and charitable organizations can deliver to the underprivileged, impoverished, and marginalized people of all ages. To this very day, the generations of kids he has helped in Belize refer to him as 'Uncle Gene.' Equally as significant are his contributions to elderly citizens through his tireless charitable work, including his role in starting programs that have benefited thousands, including local, regional programs. Gene was nominated by multiple U.S. presidents four times as a voting delegate at the White House Conference on Aging. He also served as Chairman of the Illinois Council on Aging. This selfless man's lifelong desire and drive to help others were infectious. Family, friends, and even those kids he helped in Belize were inspired by Gene's love for humanity. Many went on to work in charity in some capacity. Gene passed away in early 2022, but not before sharing his life story with Mike Stith. As this book was being written, his unflagging hope was that this story would inspire others to reach out and find ways in which they, too, can help their fellow human beings. What better legacy could he-or anyone, for that matter-leave behind All proceeds from At Your Service are donated to Gene's 501c3 public charity called the Uncle Gene Foundation.…

Others just know.
Eugene "Gene" Verdu had a calling. From the time he was a child, he knew he was meant to help others by any means possible. At Your Service recounts this universally loved man's extraordinary life as a teacher and philanthropist.
From the age of 17, he was a leader in humanitarian outreach. Following years of volunteer work in Central America, he founded the Belize Children's Project. This organization connects medical professionals, caregivers, and host families with children who have orthopedic disabilities and provides high-quality medical care at no cost to these children. Through his hard work with the Belize Children's Project, Gene saw firsthand the value that a network of philanthropists and charitable organizations can deliver to the underprivileged, impoverished, and marginalized people of all ages. To this very day, the generations of kids he has helped in Belize refer to him as "Uncle Gene."
Equally as significant are his contributions to elderly citizens through his tireless charitable work, including his role in starting programs that have benefited thousands, including local, regional programs. Gene was nominated by multiple U.S. presidents four times as a voting delegate at the White House Conference on Aging. He also served as Chairman of the Illinois Council on Aging.
This selfless man's lifelong desire and drive to help others were infectious. Family, friends, and even those kids he helped in Belize were inspired by Gene's love for humanity. Many went on to work in charity in some capacity.
Gene passed away in early 2022, but not before sharing his life story with Mike Stith.

Acerca del autor
Mike spent hours, days, and weeks visiting Mary in hospitals, nursing homes, and eventually hospice care. He tried every possible way to cheer her up while in pain. One day, running out of things to try, he began asking random interview-style questions about her life experiences, such as falling in love, what life was like back then, favorite pet stories, etc. Others in the room who overheard the questions also wanted to play along. Roommates, friends, and even hospital staff participated.
As he asked questions about their history, stories came pouring out. He often heard the phrase "I wished I would have written that story down." or "I should write a book someday."
Mike realized that people everywhere are eager to share life stories. Furthermore, he has witnessed the positive effect on their emotional well-being and spirit, including his mother. There began a new passion. Since then, Mike has visited many families, retirement communities, historical societies, and senior organizations to help promote the value of guided story sharing.
In 2013, Mike and his wife, Sonja, founded One Legacy LLC, a family-run social enterprise dedicated to sharing the legacies of people of all ages, especially seniors. One Legacy works with individuals or organizations to help preserve precious memories for future generations via story publications or books.
In 2019, Mike met Eugene Verdu for the first time. They spent almost three years collaborating on At Your Service. Eugene's life has been a huge inspiration to so many people in the United States and Belize, and Mike is privileged to be able to share his story. He hopes people will feel compelled to help others after reading this book, just as he and so many others did after meeting Eugene.
Mike and Sonja live in the small town of Oakland, Arkansas. Besides being CEO of One Legacy LLC, he is writing his next book, Broken Collar Mended Heart, The Life Story of Father James Mathew Vargo. Mike helped launch the Uncle Gene Foundation, a public charity founded by Mr. Verdu. He currently volunteers as President of the board of directors of the Love a Senior Company, a non-profit organization based in Pueblo, CO, dedicated to providing programs that celebrate senior-hood around the country.

Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
