On December 19, 2012, I used to be capable of obtain my new liver due to my donor. I used to be capable of have a second likelihood at life and for that I’ll at all times be thankful for donors like mine.

Regardless that I don’t have my very own church, God sends me to different church buildings or organizations to talk to others about what God has introduced me by.
In every single place I’m going I like to share what God has introduced me by in my life and for that I’ll at all times be grateful to have the chance to talk to folks or to hope with them.”
