Tomasz, 57 years old

The guys from therapy chipped in for me because they knew I had nothing. And for goodbye, they gave me 200 Polish zloty. I was hoping you would come because I was afraid that if you weren't there at the hospital, I would relapse and drink that 200 zloty. You came. And I'm still sober to this day.

A few days ago, I visited House of St. Lazarus No. 1. I hadn't seen the guys in a long time, so our joy at meeting was even greater.

Tomasz, who has been with us at the Home for 4 years, came up to me. He came to share his success:
– Maciej, you know that I've paid off almost all of my debt? The bailiff was taking almost 2,000 PLN from me. Today he's taking 200 PLN and I don't have much left to pay.

I was extremely happy about Tomek's success. A moment later, he added:
Do you remember how you came to pick me up 4 years ago when I was finishing therapy at HCP hospital? The guys from therapy chipped in for me because they knew I had nothing. And as a farewell, they gave me 200 PLN. I was hoping you'd come because I was afraid that if you weren't there under the hospital, I would relapse and drink all that 200 PLN. You came. And I'm still sober to this day. Thank you, Maciej!

Moved. A tear welled up in my eye. Tomek, I am proud of you!

When I heard the Gospel, how Lord Jesus said:
„I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” I thought that this situation with Tomek perfectly fulfilled this Word.

Tomek knows today that he is not alone. After all, he has you, dear Donor, who are part of the Foundation's mission. Thanks to you, such stories can happen.
