Don Alan Riggs is an FHU student who has been in St. Jude for the past 15 months. He left in April of 2015 and has had multiple surgeries and 2 stem cell transplants. By all rights, according to all the doctors, he should not have lived. He is in guarded remission and they attribute it to God.
He is coming back to school this fall; his dream for the past 15 months. He will be returning with only part of 1 lung. ( He had cancer which spread to his lungs and lymph nodes and throat and stomach area.) He has kept his faith and given a talk at St. Jude about "What Cancer Did FOR Him".
In addition to the physical hardships Don Alan and his family have endured, this battle with cancer has also created financial hardships. For the 2016-2017 school year, Don Alan needs about $12,000.
This is a wonderful opportunity to help a young man with a great spirit, who wants to major in Youth and Family Ministry at FHU!
