The Thomas House was started after the death of my son, Thomas Qasam. We had lived here in the NM area for about 3 years, working with Young Life - trying to give the locals some hope.
After Thomas's death, the mission work has jumped into full gear. We deliver food baskets to elders, help with wood heating, pray with those in need, feed those who come to the door and even find change for those who insist they need it for gas (even though they do not have a car). Usually one of my 6 children will find change for them, only about $0.75, but it helps.
