I had the honor and privilege of meeting Thysan a few years ago while he is on staff at Place of Promise, a Christ centered addiction and recovery program in Lowell, MA. It becomes immediately apparent that Thysan cares for others with the love of Jesus Christ, often giving them everything he can and in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thysan has helped hundreds of men and women who have suffered from the bondage of sin and addiction.
Tragically Thysan's brother in law and his sister were recently in a motor bike accident in Cambodia, where his brother in law was killed and his sister was serious hurt. The funeral expenses and medical bill quickly mounted and Thysan began supporting the costs from thousands of miles away.
We are raising money to come to the aid of our brother in Christ, Thysan, and if you can come beside our brother at this time of need, I can't thank you enough.
