Manatee Habitat’s Volunteer Spotlight for the month of May is Liam Cunningham. Liam is an 18-year-old young man who took a year off after high school graduation to save some money and as he explains, “get a feel for the world and what I want to do in life.”
Liam’s parents require that all their children spend one year giving back to the community by performing some type of volunteer service. His parents have instilled in their children the value of developing life experience and the philosophy that “money isn’t everything.” Liam believes that there is honor and reward in giving to others and expects nothing in return. He has had the opportunity to see the lives of those he touched and to appreciate the value of a warm smile and a sincere thank you. Liam states that this fulfillment at the end of the day is more valuable than worldly success.
While Manatee Habitat congratulates Liam on his acceptance to Christendom College in Virginia, we will sorely miss his dedicated work ethic, cheerful demeanor, and engaging personality.
