After A Single Man Passed Away The Locals Discovered The Astounding Secret About His Life

KSC presents after a single man passed away the locals discovered the astounding secret about his life throughout the world there are countless people that live their lives alone without a partner or children Allen naman was one such person before he sadly passed away from cancer in January 2018 following his death however the local community then uncovered a quite incredible secret about his life a resident of Seattle Washington naman worked as a banker before making an interesting career switch in the late 1980s he decided to become a social worker at that time joining Washington's Department of Social and Health Services the changes in his life didn't end there though as the Singleton looked to establish himself in his new position indeed naman took on additional work at a few other jobs while plying his trade in social work while he certainly kept busy the former banker was also an incredibly private frugal man spending very little money on himself however there was a potential reason for all that privacy and frugality naimans older brother Daniel suffered from a developmental disability with the Seattle native looking after him as a result in the opinion of one of his friends that responsibility shaped his life growing up as a kid with an older disabled brother kind of colored the way he looked at things Susan Madsen told The Associated Press in December 2018 during naimans time as a social worker he also dealt with a number of kids living with disabilities fueling his love of children although the former banker didn't have a wife or girlfriend he did become a foster parent for a time on the note one of his work colleagues made an astute observation the kids that came into care got into Alan's heart meri Monaghan told BBC news in December 2018 away from that name ins low spending was picked up on by his friends and peers as he made some interesting choices in one particular instance the social worker opted against buying a new pair of shoes maintaining the old ones with tape instead naimans scrimping nature didn't stop there though he also purchased many of his outfits from Costco and looked to save money with a collection of coupons meanwhile when treating his friends to a bite to eat at lunchtime the former foster parent would often frequent restaurants serving fast food however the low spending didn't reflect Damon's financial status as he was earning just under $70,000 a year as a social worker with that in mind one of his old banking friends lifted the lid on his mindset regarding money Shashi Carin in fact made an interesting point on that note after staying in contact with his former colleague throughout the years saving money was sort of a game to namin Karen told CNN in December 2018 he would brag about how he had a whole day out and didn't have to spend a single cent in 2013 though naman briefly brought an end to the game following a heartbreaking personal loss naimans brother Daniel passed away that year which prompted him to dip into his financial reserves off the back of losing his sibling the Seattle native treated himself to a present buying a sporty vehicle despite that Karen believed that he was still holding back in his spending at that time it's a nice little sports car Karen said of naimans vehicle but it's not a Mustang or a Corvette or a Porsche that he easily could have afforded prior to that the social workers cars had reflected his frugal spending as did the various road trips he took during his time off on the note Karen made a bittersweet observation about his friend following his death while he knew namin for over 30 years there were areas of his life that remained a mystery I don't know if he was lonely the former bankers colleague told The Associated Press I think he was a loner after receiving the cancer diagnosis namin started to put things into place with one group in particular benefiting from his actions the treehouse organization which helps those in foster care was given a donation of $5,000 by the Seattle native unsurprisingly that move caught a lot of people off-guard Jessica Ross was one of those individuals as the treehouses chief development officer revealed that donations would rarely go above a few hundred bucks namin certainly blew that average total away though that's a big deal for us she told BBC news we were surprised by that however the biggest surprise was yet to come for naimans colleagues and friends the social worker sadly succumb to his cancer in January 2018 some five years after his brother's passing at that point his peers then made a quite incredible discovery about his life which he'd managed to keep secret despite naimans frugal spending he actually boasted a fortune in the region of 11 million dollars which he raised in a number of different ways using the money that he earned at work the former banker made several investments building his total in the process he also received a sizable sum from his parents according to Karen named and inherited millions of dollars from his late dad adding to his growing personal fortune in an interesting twist though Karen was one of only a handful of people who knew about the social workers vast sums of money the Seattle natives old friend men explained why there was such a reluctance to spend the cash naman was just that kind of guy that he couldn't just spend the money Karen told CNN it was just in his nature to save the money and put it aside I think he always knew that he was going to leave his money to charity indeed the former banker shared that news with one of his other friends that held off mentioning the sum I think everyone was shocked I mean really shocked that naman had so much money to give away Monahan said to BBC News people will be surprised at the amount name and apparently told her prior to his passing yeah people were I'm sure very surprised she recalled after the discovery naimans 11 million dollars fortune was divided up and given to various charities and organizations as per his will among those to benefit from his kindness were make-a-wish Alaska and Washington childhood and the little bit Therapeutic Riding Center meanwhile tree house received another sizable donation far surpassing the previous one this time around naman gave tree house around nine hundred thousand dollars of his money stunning everyone at the foster care organization as it turned out during his stint as a foster parent the social worker took his children to their facility while there they picked up some of the free toys on offer once again Ross was left speechless by naimans donation our organization was just overcome with that kindness and that love she told BBC News I don't want the number two outweighed the experience of being a part of this that was really about the way he wanted to leave the world while the money would be used to improve treehouses efforts across Washington Ross couldn't help but praise name and selflessness one more time the frugality that he lived through that he committed to in his life was for this she told The Associated Press it's really a gift to all of us to see that pure demonstration of philanthropy and love those organizations weren't the only ones to benefit from naimans millions with the former banker donating around 2.5 million dollars to another cause indeed the pediatric interim care center p icc received that sum after he'd worked with them a few years earlier much like with tree house he also made an earlier gift before his passing with that in mind P ICC released a heartfelt tribute on its website commemorating naimans kindness we first became aware of Ellen's generosity last fall when we received a $10,000 donation from him online the statement read thinking that large amount might be a mistake we called him to make sure he had entered the right number of zeros after reassuring the charity that the figure was correct naman promised that he would be sending them even more money down the line from there the care center then received some interesting information he later wrote us a letter telling us about a connection to P ICC that had started many years ago the tribute continued it went back to a night many years ago when naman was a new social worker at the Department of Social and Health Services the P ICC statement read he was desperate to find a home to place a fragile baby that had been brought into his office late that evening thankfully naman got the help that he needed from the charity's founder it was after midnight when he called Barbara Drennen asking her if she could come to his office in Seattle to pick up this little one the tribute went on to his great relief Barbara came and took the baby the connection between naman and Drennen didn't end there though as his social work often brought him back to P ICC later there were other times when Allen needed help for a baby the statement continued and Barbara and pediatric interim care center were always there for him and for the babies he never forgot on that note the organization then revealed how the two point five million dollars donation would be spent thanks to naman P ICC was able to purchase some new transportation to pick up infants from the local hospitals however the large sum of money also ensured the charity's long-term survival in another way when Allen died in January he left a portion of his wealth to care for the babies at paediatric interim care center the tribute continued Allen's kindness allowed P ICC to pay off the mortgage on our building giving babies a safe place of their own for many years to come from there the care center hailed name ins hefty donation one last time with a heartfelt message on its website we are so grateful to Alan not only for his legacy but also for the life he devoted to children the statement added we hope you will join us in honoring his memory Drennen went on to pay her own personal tribute to naman delighted with the money that he left her charity while the pair had crossed paths in the past though the organization founder revealed that they hadn't properly met on those occasions with that in mind she was left with an unfulfilled wish we would never dream that something like this would happen to us drennan told The Associated Press in December 2018 I wish very much that I could have met naman I would have loved to have had him see the babies he's protecting the P ICC founder wasn't the only person to praise the social worker after his gesture came to light though indeed naimans decision to donate his millions drew a big response from online users as several media outlets covered the story meanwhile UK newspaper The Daily Mail published The Associated Press article on their website the piece then generated close to 150 comments from readers however one of those messages stood out above the rest we as a society do a lot of judging and I'm including myself in that rogue user Jennifer Marlowe in The Daily Mail's comment section we tend to judge someone like naman is something of an oddity the way he's portrayed as a loner in the article is proof of that Marlow then made an astute observation about those who might be seen as different in the eyes of the majority I've learned to be a lot less judgmental as I've aged the user continued and I have realized that the people we think are different are usually some of the best people you could meet I knew a man just like naman and he left behind a sizable amount for charity as well Marlow added to her message in the newspapers comments section there are Saints among us indeed be kind to one another we're all stuck here together let's make the most of it our IP meanwhile naimans friend Karen revealed that some of the money was also going to a couple of other worthy causes outside of the children's charities the social workers fortune was being shared with the disabled american veterans organization in addition a sum was donated to his parents old church as well with that in mind Karen then lifted the lid on a bittersweet conversation he had with his former colleague about his financial plans my gift is going to be bigger than their annual budget he recalled name and telling him to CNN it's going to blow them away and it did [Music] thank you for
