According to the American Cancer Society, "because of major treatment advances in recent decades, 84% of children with cancer now survive 5 years or more. Overall, this is a huge increase since the mid-1970s, when the 5-year survival rate was about 58%."2 Thankfully, I was not only one of the first cases in Texas but one of the 58% that survived nationwide.
Fast forward 47 years, and I've written two books: (1) a children's book that helps kids with cancer and, (2) a book written exclusively for parents with children who have cancer and other life-threatening illnesses, and it would be my distinct privilege to help you on your journey of healing.

About Me
As a stage III Retinablastoma child cancer survivor, I know the importance of faith when it comes to seemingly incurable diseases. My cancer was discovered in the latter part of the third stage, and had it not been for the mustard seed faith of my paternal grandmother, I would not have sight in my left eye, a prosthesis in my right, and the life I so enjoy today. But all things considered, I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if my grandmother, and other relatives, had books like these. If they had a book that walked them right into the arms of Jehovah Rapha (the God who heals), like the ones I’ve written. I can’t help but wonder if I would have lost my right eye to cancer.
Unfortunately, we’ll never know but you can be assured that whatever sickness or disease your child (or loved one) is facing, that if you’ll read our materials and add them to your mustard seed faith, you’ll see God honor the little faith you have, and you too will see small, incremental changes in your child’s health. I lost my right eye to cancer, but it was out of that loss that I am now able to prayerfully help your precious little darling live the life God predestined him or her to live.
