Thomas Raymond Hundt

Tom was diagnosed within weeks of birth with the rare genetic skin disorder ‘recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullous (rdeb) in which the bond that holds the layers of skin together is weak, resulting in the skin peeling, blistering, and scarring both outside and inside the body. Tom battled his redeb and its numerous complications his entire life until its progression led to untreatable skin cancers (visit debra.org) to learn more. This special cross Tom was given to bear was also an incredible blessing. Teaching him patience, kindness, perseverance, compassion and humility. During his times of wandering from God’s path, it would draw him back closer to his Lord. During times of hardship it taught him to trust that God would see him through. By the grace of God, Tom was able to adapt and overcome many obstacles and physical challenges throughout his life.
