The Inspiring Story of a Child Abuse Survivor. You Need To Hear This.

Did you know that one in four children have experienced some type of abuse or neglect during their lives?

And what happens when those kids grow up? The picture isn’t pretty. According to childhelp.org, as many as two-thirds of people in treatment for drug abuse were abused or neglected as a child and children who experience abuse and neglect are 9 times more likely to commit a crime.

Rodney Timms overcame a childhood of chronic abuse - he was nearly beaten to death by his father at age 15 - to build a multi-million dollar trucking company which employs 440 people. Rodney tells us how to recognize the signs of abuse and how he broke the cycle himself. You won't believe his story.
