Hospitality is defined as the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.
To most, those are just words but to those in the hospitality industry, it's an honor code that one lives by in not only work but in life.
Hermes Worldwide is a role model for true genuine hospitality. The level of passion, kindness and pure sincerity that this entire Team exudes sets them apart from any and all other transportation companies I have ever experienced.
I wanted to take a moment to tell you about our dear friend's experience this past week and how incredibly grateful, not only the Tan family is for your hospitality but also, how grateful their entire circle of friends and family are and will never forget the once in a lifetime experience that you gave them!
Harvey Tan is 6 years old and has the kindest soul that you will ever meet. You can attest if you had the pleasure of meeting him while he visited! He is a one in a million kind of kid who is respectful and sweet and so considerate of everyone around him.
Harvey suffered a seizure this past May, which caused the discovery of multiple tumors found in the back of his brain. After an MRI, it was quickly discovered that Harvey had cancer, more specifically, Li Fraumeni.
This is a very aggressive type of tumor so, no matter how much of it the neurosurgeon will get out l, the cells are always there beyond what the naked eye can see, growing.
He has been given a timeline of 9-24 months.
This is not a curable type of cancer. The family is now only buying themselves time with Harvey. Future treatments will likely start in a week, the first being a six week course of radiation somewhere in Texas.
With this devastating news, everyone's goal now is to make the best of the time we have with Harvey and make sure he lives out the happiest life he possibly can with the time he has left. We found out that his favorite band is AJR and that they had a show coming up in Denver prior to his first radiation treatment so we made it a mission to get Harvey to his first ever concert!
I would like to also recognize Justin in particular, who drove Leslie and Harvey to dinner and the show that evening. He was so incredibly kind and thoughtful with gifts and balloons and even stopped to get apple juice in between transfers because Harvey prefers that over fruit punch. He was so patient and helped Harvey get comfortable each time he drove them to a new location. He was just such a perfect continuation of the incredible service that Harvey received during his stay at the hotel. An additional thank you to the president of this amazing operation, Jorge Sanchez, for making it all happen as well.
Harvey starts radiation next week and it's going to be a really tough, scary time for him and everyone surrounding him but he now has the absolute BEST memories that he can take with him to give him strength and make him smile. For that, we are eternally grateful as you all played a HUGE role in that.
Thank you to the entire Hermes Worldwide Company does treating our family like your own! read more
