Meet two employees you helped in the first year of the Rollins Relief Fund.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Rollins, Rollins Relief committee and all Rollins employees. I have been in the pest control industry for over sixteen years. I always prided myself on taking care of my customers, and especially not missing work, because I understand the importance of servicing our customers, but also not adding additional workloads on my co-workers. In January of 2020 I started having back and knee pain. I went to doctor and chiropractor appointments, with no relief. I eventually got an MRI, that showed cancer in my leg and on June 2, 2020 I was diagnosed with stage four metastatic lung cancer. My family and I were devastated, and after many tests I started radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. My Dr. gave me hope I could beat cancer. Around this time my wife lost her job as business banker. We had to now worry about our finances as well since she was the main breadwinner. It seemed completely overwhelming, so we decided to reach out to Rollins for help. We realized that, sadly, lots of people go thru similar tough times and that Rollins Relief was put in place to help Rollins employees. We knew others may be more deserving and Rollins may not be able to help us, and that would have been fine. I have contributed to Rollins Relief since I learned of it and how it helps co-workers that are experiencing financial hardships, whether health related or some other reason for their financial hardship. I always enjoyed hearing of the people that they helped and how Rollins Relief really came through when they needed help. When Rollins called and said they would help us, my wife and I were overcome with gratitude. What a wonderful company and what wonderful employees who contribute to help their coworkers. We have many challenges ahead, fighting cancer and finding a job during a pandemic, but because of Rollins Relief and my coworkers we don’t have the added stress of paying our mortgage the next couple months and hopefully my wife will find a job in the meantime. I know this letter doesn’t adequately expressed our gratitude to a wonderful company that Rollins is and its fantastic people. You all have helped us more than you’ll ever know. God bless you all.

With sincere thanks,
Brian and Sharon Russell
