Overview

Since the foundation’s inception in 2010, thousands of children have been impacted by programs specifically focused on those with profound medical needs. A trip to the mission field when he was just 15 revealed to Tim the significant lack of access to medical care in developing countries and the inability to afford it when it was available. Later on, because of the platform God gave him as an athlete, Tim’s view into the deep medical needs of children expanded as he frequently received requests to visit with children with life-threatening illnesses who desired to meet him.

Today, the foundation is meeting the needs of these children in several ways, including a partnership that built and operates a hospital in the Philippines, respite for hospitalized patients and families within children’s hospitals across the United States and abroad, and a wish-granting program through which Tim reaches hundreds of children with profound medical needs, bringing them into the TTF family to be loved on, prayed over and encouraged.

Why It Matters

Jesus’s ultimate rescue mission was to save the lost, but the Bible also records many examples of physical healing performed alongside the spiritual healing He offered. He did not hesitate or turn away from those with profound medical needs, but instead welcomed them, knowing they needed healing in both body and spirit (Mark 2:17). As we seek to be more like Him and continue the rescue mission He began, we have committed to follow in the path He walked by being the hands and feet that bring healing to a world in need.
