This young man accomplished more in his 30 short years than most can hope to accomplish in their lifetime. He was an inspiration to so many and a beacon of hope in his corner of the world.

       Manny overcame  so much 12 years ago after he suffered a severe brain injury in a car crash. He had to relearn how to breathe,talk, eat,  walk, and dress himself. During that time, many witnessed  the Hernandez family's unfailing faith in God. God and love is what got this kid, his sister, and his parents through a very hard time. Manny overcame it all, and loved his new life and never looked back. 

Our walk of faith was and continues to be strengthened by this family. Manny and his family have touched so many of us  and we are so grateful that  God gave us Manny for 30 years. 


Manny's eternal life began last night, unexpectedly, after a car accident on his way home from praising our Lord at church. 

Manny’s dad told us last night " After his accident 12 years ago , while he was laying there on life support , I dropped to my knees and begged the Lord to let me see him smile just one more time . Well He gave us 12 more years of that .

This is an unbelievable tragedy for so many of us that loved Manny . I can only imagine him  running freely now , no brace , perfect speech . I do feel as though he was more prepared then any other person I know on this earth .

Please help us be Manny's warriors, and help the Hernandez family with the cost of funeral expensive , taking time off work, and getting immediate family here from Puerto Rico.

Here are the last words Manny left us with


Let us not become weary of doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest If we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:9-10 NIV
