The Secret Samaritan Charity Program surprised its third recipient last week. Kenneth Gallucci, who has stage four liver failure and partial kidney failure, was nominated by his stepmother, Laurie Gallucci. He has been hospitalized multiple times throughout the last year and was forced to relocate from San Antonio, Texas to Price, Utah so his father and stepmother could help support him.
Kenneth was surprised with a $500 Walmart gift card to put toward groceries and other necessities. He was truly thankful for the gift card and thanked Laurie for nominating him. Kenneth said his stepmother has been the rock in his life that he has needed the past few years. He stated that it was amazing to see people caring for other people and he will never take the generosity for granted.
