Original version : Rob Ellis Ad "The birth of my son changed my life forever."
"The birth of my son changed my life forever. His death did the same."
Rob Ellis speaks out for young workers’ safety.
“As I rushed to the hospital on a cold February day in 1999, my mind was flooded with fearful thoughts. The phone call said my son, David, had been injured during his second day of a temporary bakery job.
I couldn’t have imagined that David wouldn’t be coming home - ever.”
