This week on Dyl and Friends, I'm joined by Daniel and Luke Mancuso. In 2013, Daniel and Luke lost their beloved mother, Teresa, to a domestic violence incident taken out by their father. Between now and then, the two brothers from Reservoir have won the hearts of people everywhere through their social media page "Yia Yia Next Door" that showcases their relationship with next door neighbour, Yia Yia and the unconditional kindness she showed the boys following that tragic event. Yia Yia Next Door is best known for sharing messages and stories about love forged in tragedy, the importance of connection and how simple gestures, such as giving someone a home-cooked meal, can transform lives and restore hope. I can't thank Luke and Daniel enough for their openness in sharing a story with super important messages.
