Julian Nabozny figures he has caught some breaks in life, which is one reason he likes to help people who haven’t done as well.
Nabozny, gearing up to host another of his free Thanksgiving Day breakfasts this year, says he’s had three close calls with death that reinforced his belief that people who are fortunate in life should help those who aren’t.
“God saved my life three times,” he said. “And I feel that I could have been in heaven right now. Giving back is part of my nature because it’s God’s will.”
Nabozny, 58, owns five McDonald’s restaurants in the Valley. This will be the 17th year he hosts the holiday food-fest that has grown into a neighborhood event in the area around the restaurant at Central and Southern avenues in Phoenix.
