Ric said: “The reason I have been delivering hundreds of masks is because I hate all the greed that has begun to spread. I created Washington Pulling Together to help anyone in any way I’m able to.
The feedback has been amazing. Looking after each other at a time like this is more important than ever. Greed is infectious, but so is helping people.”
Ric, who is a full time carer for his wife, also wants his acts of kindness to set an example to his children about how to treat others in times of need.
