THE STORY OF TOM SANFORD AND PROJECT PATCH
"You are worthless! A dummy! A pantywaist! I hate your guts!"
"I remember being lashed to a tree with a chain and a dog collar fastened around my neck. Somehow I'd wandered off and my father accused me of running away. To teach me a lesson, he let the dog go and chained me to the tree trunk. I was two. It was the first time I remember my father telling me that he hated my 'guts.' I didn't know what it meant to hate someone's guts, but I knew it had to be pretty bad because he looked so angry."
Tom Sanford's life growing up under the abusive hand of a father who used rage to manipulate and control others was anything but idyllic. His red eyes and swollen lips from beatings at home earned him cruel nicknames at school. But the physical bruises on his body were no match for the wounds to his spirit. How this inwardly wounded boy grew up to become a healer of thousands of like-wounded boys and girls through the ministry of Project PATCH is the stuff of miracles. And the book you hold in your hands tells the story.
From Sanford's own troubled past to the heartbreaking stories of the children he and his wife, Bonnie, have rescued, Wounded Healer is an emotional journey of faith, struggle, and redemption. Long after you close the covers of this book, the stories of young lives changed on the "miracle ranch" known as PATCH will remain in your heart forever.

Tom Sanford served as a pastor for fifteen years, during which time he negotiated with juvenile courts to provide alternatives to detention for numerous young people. He and his wife, Bonnie, have kept more than one hundred children in their own home over the course of thirty years. He has also served as chaplain and search pilot for the Civil Air Patrol for nearly twenty years. Tom is the founder and director of Project PATCH, an accredited residential program for at-risk youth. PATCH began in 1984 and presently serves youth who are twelve to seventeen years old.
