Tony Melendez and the Toe Jam Band rocked the house at Benedictine Academy this past Monday, March 15. Tony was born without arms because his mother was prescribed thalidomide during her pregnancy. However, Tony shares his story that "God had plans for him, a future full of hope, not woe!" (Jeremiah) Tony and the Toe Jam Band have travelled across the United States, performed for the Pope at World Youth Day, opened the World Series, and appeared on countless television shows and stages in countries across the world.
Our Praise Dancers beautifully gave praise to the Lord as Tony sang one of his original songs, Hands in Heaven. Their stories and songs delivered a message of hope that reminds us "nothing is impossible with God." Our lives will never be the same after hearing Tony sing as he played his guitar with no arms, and with the toes of his feet. He is truly an inspiration to us all.
