My name is Antonio Maranzano, and I just graduated from St. Thomas More Academy, in Burton, MI. I love basketball and soccer but more importantly than that I love to do service work. I have spent the past 2 years getting to know the ministry of Hard As Nails and their message, which is making a world where no one suffers alone, because of my own struggles and siblings, Sam and Gina. This beautiful message really helped me through a rough time of interior struggles and serious sports injuries and let me see the beauty life could have. I realized this beauty was not just for me, and I hungered to share this message and the joy I had. The missionaries walked through my suffering with me and I started really to see my faith and make it my own. Now that I am graduated, I have felt God placing it on my heart to become a missionary to speak the fire of God’s love so that all people may know that they do not suffer alone and they are loved by Our heavenly Father more than we can ever fathom.
I am in my second year as a missionary volunteer and It has been an incredible gift in my life. I have lived in community for the past year and a half traveling from New York City to North Dakota! My life has been changed by my brothers I live with!
The ministry is full of great people that all want to grow closer to God and bring hope and joy to those that need it. Like I said earlier, the joy I have gotten and have witnessed is nothing short of amazing. The ministry travels across the country to share the message of hope with the world speaking to thousands of young people every year and with your support I can have a hand in this beautiful work.
I am asking for prayers and financial support so I may go and travel with the ministry to spread this message of hope and joy. The total I need to raise is $10,000, which will go toward gas for travel, and housing for me to live. If you are able to donate, you can make a one-time donation or donate monthly. This will allow me to live and to travel and reach out and give hope to those who don’t have anyone. All donations are tax-deductible also. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. I will be praying for you!
