Write to us if you want more information on this protective blanket from radiation treatments.

We have many people right now that have many challenges from, feeding their families to no job, to health issues. Please pray.
Many of you will remember the story of Jonathan Savage!!! PTL!!! He graduated this past weekend!
KGNS TV in Laredo gave us permission to share this story:
LAREDO, TX Despite being involved in an accident 8 months ago, a local high school senior walked the stage this weekend and receives his diploma…
We got a chance to talk to him about his road to recovery and what he plans on doing now. September 2nd 2015, the day that changed Jonathon Savage’s senior year. “All I remember is getting on the motorcycle but what I’ve heard is that I hear a rock in the road, hit a retaining wall, Savage says about the accident. He was test driving his friend’s motorcycle when it happened, causing him to get a spinal cord and brain injury. He was in coma for 11 days after the accident and then went to rehab, “I ended up breaking my thoracic spine, I was a complete paraplegic, once I got movement in my legs… that’s when the ball started rolling, Savage says. 21 days after the accident he was finally able to stand up. The determined 18-year old continued his education while still in the hospital. “It was a struggle I was able to manage my time doing therapy and school lots of late nights of no sleep,” he adds. Despite all the obstacles savage completed his education. About a month ago doctors told him he’s on the road to a full recovery and will be able to walk again.”
Doctors still don’t know how long it will take until then… But in the mean time he’s been doing physical therapy practicing for his walk across the stage, a very emotional moment during the graduation. Savage says the one thing that’s kept him going is his attitude, “got to stay positive, that’s the main thing that’s kept me alive staying positive. There’s no reason to be depressed because at the end of the day what is that going to change? Jonathan plans on studying at Texas Tech and will major in kinesiology.
