Every Thursday morning, Dan Dewey orders 12 to 24 coffee items from the Starbucks in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He then delivers the coffee to patients and staff at the Michigan Cancer Institute (MCI). The tradition started when he took his own father to MCI for treatment. His father has since passed away, but Dan keeps the coffee, and the smiles, flowing.

    Wonderful ,it's miraculous and inspiring action of Dan to keep the Coffee flowing to the patient of the Michigan Cancer Institute as a deed to keep them feels comfortand care from Dan's Action . I am amazed with his action as well as the lady at Star Buck Serving him as isee from the vidoe clip . In actual fact it is a moral support for the patient who are lonely and idling laying on the patient bed in the hospital seeing people like Dan bring hope and laughter to them .We should do more of this act of kindness yo help this society bringing hopes to the poeple in need . with love and care from Raymond Sia .

    What a giving person, what love to share. And yes, is Starbucks doing their share in providing their coffee free to the patients? We can all give in so many ways. Bless you Dan.

    This is a Wonderful inspired gift for everyone. Unfortunately, as a cancer survivor, I can share that caffein is counter-indicated for cancer patients. Take balloons next time, or roses. GOD Bless you all.

    Dan is a saint ... he is super inspiring! Starbucks on the other hand ... is not quite so benevolent. I wish Starbucks would just donate the coffee to Dan each week instead of trying to capitalize on it.

    Emma

    This is very inspiring, it is wonderful to see the joy this brings all round, what a great service Dan has created and provides. I see Starbucks logo at the end, do they now donate the coffee or does Dan need to finance it all himself?

    When a stranger expresses selfless love... especially when you are completely stressed out and feel helpless.... it can really shift you in a positive way.
