Tom's Story

It's been nearly 30 years ago that I fainted and was given a short time to live. After having some blood tests, I was told I had a life-threatening disease,  Leukemia. The doctor said their was no hope!

I learned of a life saving bone marrow transplant but it was going to cost well over $100,000. It was 1984, and my family was told that the money would have to be paid up front and that I also needed an unlikely bone marrow match. 

I did go through the transplant but during the process I went into a blast crisis and came very close to death many times. Permanently confined to a wheel chair, my lungs collapsed, on life support and finally totally paralyzed . . . I knew I had been through a battle but the day eventually came when I came home!

I have never been in prison or a slave to alcohol and drugs but I have something in common with a lot of people. Many of us are in bondage to something. We are not free. I was a prisoner to my illness. But once I gave God permission to take control my life, I was free!

Today, the leukemia is totally cured, the paralysis is gone and I'm walking, talking and singing again!

Through it all, I had hope and knew God was with me!

Thankfully, He still uses me today. That's what it's all about for me. If I can help and encourage someone else, it's been worth it all!

Since those early days in 1984, I've encountered various challenges. I've been through valleys but with God, there is victory!

Please have me speak if you are an administrator at a prison, jail, rehab or anywhere people need hope. I want to let people know He wants to wants to set them free like He's done for me!
