Former Canyon del Oro lineman David Catalano is encouraging our community to do more for each other this Christmas season.
Now a defensive tackle at San Jose State, Catalano put his words to practice when he took a homeless man named Darell off the streets and bought clothing for him at a local Walmart.
From Catalano’s Facebook page:
“Today I met a man named Darell. His mother died in 1982 and left him on the streets since. When I met him, the only clothes he had were on his back. I set aside $60 dollars to take this man to Walmart in order to buy him shoes, a sweatshirt, jeans, boxers, and socks. As I approached the register he tried to hand me all the money in his pockets. I had $5.50 change, and put it in his hand instead. I gave the old man a hug goodbye as I dropped him off with his bags. This Christmas I encourage you to go out and do more than just put money in a can. Take the time and effort to change someone’s life. Happy birthday Jesus, hope you like your present. Its the least I can do for you dying on the cross for all my sins.”
Catalano is interested in religious studies and wants to someday be a pastor.
