Many people are concerned with the privacy, or lack thereof, that could occur with storing personal documents into a non-physical storage unit. I can see, though with companies such as ours and Metacloud, we are working toward a more secure and easy to use cloud system for both personal and professional use. Spursh Parikh www.sererra.com

Dryer Vent Wizard Witnesses How Fundraising Efforts Help Child Burn Victim

DETROIT, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 01/02/13 -- In October during National Fire Prevention Month, Dryer Vent Wizard (DVW) launched a nationwide campaign to raise funds for the Children's Burn Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides medical and psychological care and activities for children burned in fires along with programs for burn prevention and education.

DVW, www.DryerVentWizard.com, raised more than $5,000 that was recently delivered to the Foundation's office in Los Angeles.

On hand to accept the check were Foundation Executive Director Carol Horvitz and Board Chairman Doug Mancino along with Adolf Baguma, an 11 year-old child burn survivor from Uganda. The young boy was in the U.S. to receive reconstructive surgery made possible by donations like DVW's to the Children's Burn Foundation, www.Childburn.org.

At the age of 7, Adolf's aunt threw burning hot banana leaves on the back of his legs as punishment for trying to get some food. As a result of his severe burns and no medical treatment, he was unable to stand and could only walk on all fours.

Los Angeles-based attorney Laine Wagonseller met Adolf while on a mission trip in Uganda and contacted the Children's Burn Foundation for help. He arrived just in time for Thanksgiving and to begin reconstructive surgeries to help him walk again and lead a normal life. Already on the road to recovery, Adolf helped to receive DVW's donation.

"It was heartwarming for us to see Adolf's photo and hear his story," said Terry Reuer, DVW's president. "To know that collecting individual $5 donations for wristbands that carry our motto 'Prevent a fire, clean your dryer' could change a child's life means a lot to all of our franchisees and communities that participated."

Dryer Vent Wizard specializes in dryer vent repair, replacement, alteration, cleaning and maintenance for residential and commercial clients. Headquartered in Farmington Hills, Mich., DVW's 60 franchisees service communities nationwide and help raise public awareness about the importance of dryer vent cleaning to prevent dryer fires and save energy. For more information or to schedule an appointment, visit www.DryerVentWizard.com or call 866-498-SAFE (7233).
