My Friend Fred

Frederick Brice is a blind, homeless, street preacher in the heart of Atlanta, Ga. Originally from Freeport, Bahamas, Fred moved to The United States as a new follower of Christ to preach the gospel and work as an high-end carpenter. Around 2009, with the real estate market at a low, the carpentry industry suffered greatly, and so did Fred. The high cost of living forced Fred to live out of his van. Due to a chain of unfortunate events, Fred's drivers license was suspended, and after being arrested for looking for work outside of a local Atlanta Home Depot, Fred was unable to get his van out of the impound and lost all his identification, equipment, and seemingly, his life. Shortly after becoming homeless, Fred began to develop cataracts in his eyes. The cataracts went unattended for almost 3 years. Recently, in an attempt to restore his sight through corrective surgery, the cataracts were made worse by the negligance of the opthamologist. The opthamologist required that Fred's sponsors would need to pay a second fee to correct what went wrong. Because the surgery was sponsored by a small local church, they did not have enough money for the second surgery, so Fred has been ushered back on to the streets in worst condition than before, feeliing immense pain in his eyes daily, however still continuing to preach faithfully.

All proceeds will go to Fred's corrective surgery, obtaining his identification, and his life restoration. Fred is a very diligent and hard worker. The rescuing of his body from affliction would open up doors to go to school for evangelism, work a steady job, find his family, and continue his life telling of all the mercy of The Lord.

Fred's restoration is not limited to money. If you, or someone you know has the resources beneficial to his recovery, by all means, let us know. All inquiries please email [email redacted]
