He dedicated his life to the service of abandoned children, the sick, and poor, teaching and spending his fortune in the service of the needy. He founded reading rooms and libraries to provide books and learning to the poor, and started the 1st daycare centers in the country. He funded assistance for the sick, supported orphanages, and worked in both himself.
