heroes
The word hero can mean many things to many people.
To Western Union, it's our consumers, who work hard to fulfill their dreams. It's people like Godson Beaugelin, a young father who is funding the educations of his brother and sister in Haiti while caring for his young child. It's people like Maria Genevieve Buncal, working for a better future in Hong Kong and sending money home to the Philippines. It's people everywhere, across the world, moving every day in the direction of their dreams.
