When real estate trainer and coach Mike Ferry heard about Melody May, a broker from Royal LePage Village in Montreal, and her quest to raise $9,111 for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation to commemorate her best friend’s death in the attacks on the World Trade Center, he stepped up with a donation of $5,000 to match all the funds Melody had raised to that point. With Ferry’s help, May exceeded her goal and presented Alternat’elle, a second stage housing agency for abused women and their children, with a $12,000 donation.
