A Story of Friendship. A Journey Home.
Contributed by: Sandra Murray on 2/14/2007

Hello Your Hub audience!

Do you have a best friend in the whole wide world? If so, then you know you'd do anything for them, even take away their pain if you could! But we can't, so we care, comfort and find creative ways to bring joy to their lives. This unique story of friendship and love will touch your hearts.

I am pleased to introduce myself, Sandra Murray, an independent small business owner of Contagious Media "Marketing with Momentum for Arts, Entertainment and Entrepreneurs".

It is truly my purpose and passion to help others along their journey through life, which is how I met Frank Stribling, a homeless Vietnam vet - E7 Marine. Our story, Frank's Fight is about what happens when two people from different worlds come together to help humanity and learn to never give up...no matter what!

In March 2004, Contagious Media embarked on a creative documentary project to help the homeless. We had a house donated and Frank and six men from the shelters moved in to renovate the property and restore their lives. We had donations from major companies as these seven men strived to find their way back home again.

In June 2004, Frank went for a check up after being hit by a bus and was informed he had cancer and renal failure. This was a turning point for me as I knew this man's honorable character, what he had been through, losing his wife, losing his home and now his health. I stood by his side, documented his fears, his challenges, his chemo sessions, and his joys. We both realized that our meeting was no accident and that our story of friendship will inspire others to keep the faith.

Three years have passed and God knows it hasn't been easy. Frank continues his fight and shows what a person can do with faith, determination and a true friend by his side. He currently lives in my basement, and we are working on finding him a place to call home and complete our story.

We hope you will read more about Frank's Fight and realize we are only here on earth to love each other into heaven.
