Mark Paskin, 'Secret Millionaire'The latest 'Secret Millionaire' (Sun., 8PM ET on ABC) is Mark Paskin, who made his fortune in real estate and investments. But it was the work at Young Detroit Builders that touched his heart, as well as the dedication and commitment of Executive Director Beverly Manick, whom he had the pleasure to work with while he was "undercover."

"You've taken these young people who've come up from a messed-up background and you put them on the right direction in life," he told her upon returning to the organization.

As he worked with her, he saw at first-hand how YDB is helping these disadvantaged high-school dropouts learn life skills and gain the knowledge needed to secure their GEDs.

"I would like to donate a little check to you for Young Detroit Builders for $40,000," he told her.

"She was so appreciative, and it really feels good," he said later of the experience. "But I'm not done yet." We can only hope Paskin is referring to the rest of his life, even beyond the show.

Another Awesome show, I too was moved and inspired by the community's outreach with such little to nothing to work with. Thank you Mr. Mark Paskin for bringing a Miracle to the city of Detroit, to God be the Glory! I will continue helping when I can where I can that makes the difference.
