    You know, aren't we amazing creatures. We can be so cruel and greedy, but then at a time like this, the best can also come out. Good work Danny Bent good work.

    This was so inspiring... This is the sort of group mentality we need in our world at the moment. It makes you wonder what else we could be capable of if we came together. Thank you Danny. This was marvelous!

    You forget sometimes how good people can be, we only see stories on the news of the hurt, the anger and the fear, rarely and only at the end of the news do they share the equally important stories, like of Danny.
