Tony’s Story

"God and family are most important in my life. Loyal, determined and motivated are three words that describe me! "

— Tony, Healing Hands Health Patient

Tony has a genuinely happy spirit that fills any space he enters! The statement above personified IS Tony. It is who he has always been. Even in times of trouble, his faith did not falter. Strong determination has helped him make hard changes that will serve as the foundation for the new life he is building. A life where he is present. A life he will enjoy.

When Tony was asked what in his life journey brought him to the waiting area of Healing Hands Health, sitting with someone he just met, sharing his story he replied “Prayer.” In the past, Tony had chosen paths that led to disastrous consequences. Tony is motivated and committed to rebuilding his life. “I prayed that God would lead me to a place to recover and rebuild my life. The life He wanted for me. The path He chose.”

That path led to Bristol Lifestyle Recovery (BLR). Tony was given a list of resources when he arrived at BLR, and Healing Hands was listed as providing dental care. Fortunately, it was just a short walk away.

Since receiving help at Healing Hands, Tony’s job status has gone from temporary to full-time and he has a brilliant new smile!
