On December 26, 2001, Thumper lost his son Ben in an automobile accident.
Thumper and his entire family was devastated. Two others also died in the accident,
including Ben's cousin & best friend Josh. The whole Community was shook
to it's core. Ben was Thumper's Heart and had been Thumper's best man just 20
month's earlier. Searching for some explanation of how such a terrible
thing could happen, Thumper turned to the Lord. " I know God guided me to
start this charity" For a short time while he was in mourning, Thumper
went into seclusion.

FUTURE CAN NOW BE ACCOMPLISHED ONLY BY ME ACTING IN BEN'S BEHALF

Then our Lord shall say come inherit the Kingdom I have prepared for you. For
when I was hungry you gave me food, When I was thirsty you gave me drink. When
I was a stranger you took me in. Naked you clothed me. I was sick, you came to
visit me. I was in prison you came unto me. Then we will answer him
saying Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you. or thirsty and give you
drink. When did we see you naked and clothed you or a stranger and take you
in? When did we see you in prison and come to visit you? And our Lord will say
to us, In so much you have done unto the least of my brothers you have done
unto me.
