David Wood, as many of you know, is an Islamocritic with an astonishing breadth of knowledge, as well as unparalleled wit and eloquence. He is also a man of immense generosity and depth of spirit. Please help him and his family now.
“Wood Trip to MTM Conference“:
Our two youngest sons, Reid and Paley, have an ultra-rare and life-threatening medical condition called Myotubular Myopathy. The disease makes their muscles extremely weak. They cannot breathe or eat without life-sustaining machines. When they were born, doctors gave them a 50 percent chance of surviving their first year. Although they have both had many close-calls and been hospitalized numerous times, Reid is now 9 years old and Paley just turned 7!
In 2015, thanks to some generous donations, our family was able to bring Reid and Paley to a conference for families affected by this condition so that they could meet with other children like themselves and with the doctors studying how to treat them. They were able to participate in research studies through the conference. Researchers now have successfully treated the disease in mice and dogs and are currently working on curing the disease in humans. We hope to bring Reid and Paley to this year’s conference so that they can participate in further studies and so that we can learn about the latest medical developments.
In order to travel across several states with two wheelchair-bound children on life-support machines (not to mention our older, unaffected children), we will be renting an RV. With the rental, gas, mileage, and insurance, along with food and hotel accommodations for our family plus a nurse for one week, the costs are quite high (totalling close to $9000 for the 2015 conference).
It would be an indescribable blessing for our family to attend this conference, and it would help not only our own children but others who are affected by the same condition. Please give what you can! Every little bit is deeply appreciated!

Try receiving God’s healing light from Johrei , which has a number of centers in the USA.
Godwin says
Look like this disease had a spiritual cause n need a spiritual cure. Alternatively, David can chant master Lu Jun Hong’s ( see Youtube ) Buddhist mantras, which had cured many impossible cases. No harm trying.
I like seeing David Wood’s videos on Islam. Thanks for the good work.
Dacritic says
Godwin, you have a good heart. Hmm… but David is a Christian. Somehow, I’m not sure he would be into Buddhist chants. What I’m sure he is doing at the moment with his church is they are praying for his children all they can.
mortimer says
David Wood is one of the world leaders in the exposure of Islam’s absurd teachings. He deserves everyone’s support.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Mortimer.
Jerry says
David Wood is brilliant and has been a tremendous asset in the fight against the evils of islam. He strikes me as a man of good character who’s not afraid of a hard challenge if it’s for a good cause. I’m sure he’s a great dad and husband, sometimes you can just tell. Of course I’ll donate to help him out, I’m going to run up and get a Visa gift card at Target in about an hour and punch that number in. My only regret is I can’t give more, a lot more. I’ve always said, if and when I win the lottery I’m going to be helping a lot of folks brave enough to fight evil islam. David Wood is one of those people.
Peace, David! and may your Christian god guide and protect you and your wonderful family!
Jerry says
It’s done. It’s important to me that others know I kept my word.
————————————————
I’ve never failed to give without getting blessed more in return. I remember shortly after Hurricane Katrina I was dead broke living in a dingy basement. I wept over the death and destruction and wanted to give anyway. It was only 25 bucks I donated but it might as well have been $2500.00, I was that broke. About a week later I got a call from my dad, he said they bought a new car and wanted to give me their “old” one, it was worth about 3 grand. When I got to the house to pick it up there was an envelope with $2500.00 on the table for me. For some reason my parents felt the need to make this extra show of love. I don’t always understand why things happen in life. But as I get older I see the goodness in helping those in need, especially someone like David Wood. If David is what being a good Christian is all about then Christianity is all right by me. I truly believe Christ would be proud of someone like him, for defending the rights of women and people in general against bigotry and hate. I remember some actor once said, there comes a time in ones life when you should have the courage to be the person you want to be. I think what I would like to be is someone like David Wood, a person that really fights the good fight even when it hurts.
Sorry for the sappy story, but I just had to get that out. 🙂
Jerry says
I’m an atheist and I’m going to pray for David Wood and his family! And I’m not the least bit embarrassed to admit it. 🙂

Ditto.

@ Jerry
Thank you for sharing your story, and for stepping up to help David and his family!

Thank you, Jerry. Glad things are going better for you now.

“Sappy”? Puhleezze!!!!!!!!!!
Your post is a powerful witness to Divine Providence my dear friend. Someone with the faith to do what you did? Need never in future then detract from it by calling it “sappy”.
gravenimage says
Kathy, I agree.
And great to see you posting again–I have missed your comments. Hope you are well.
Enoch was right says
I saw his video on the 3 stages of Islam and that was a real eye-opener. He said that N. America is in the first stage, Europe in the second stage, and Islamic theocracies in the third and final stage. This makes a lot of sense.
warren nicodemus says
I would like all the money to go to you . Is that what happens ?
marc says
Yes, all goes to David Wood, for that trip with his kids, I am sure he will put any overs to good use for his lovely family.
Godwin says
This pathetic, moronic slave of Mo spew nonsense as usual. He is an inbreed who could not think out of the deadly, idiotic trap n got himself enslaved for life.
Godwin says
This is the reply to Mohamed Itae Muhammad’s comment. It was wrongly placed. Sorry !.
gravenimage says
I knew who you were referring to, Godwin.
WPM says
I am glad to donate I feel David is a true Christian soldier, I hope he and his family the best of health and happiness.
marina says
God bless you David. You are very brave. Hope the doctors will find a cure for your sons someday. He needs our support. Glad to be of help.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The urge to help David Wood is obvious, both because of his great work (with the risks) and the bad luck of the terrible malady striking his two boys. Ouch. I’ll give $100 within a day or so. But as is my habit, I’ll use a low debit card with a low amount in it to limit the risk to the money in the account behind the card. Doing this is always a best practice, especially at a site that invites hacking from, ahem, you know, it’s not like I’m not a xenophobe or anything, but let’s just say hacking from a certain hairy people, and their globo-socialist brethren. Did you know that almost all hackers are liberals? Makes sense, after all socialism is just a legalized form of robbery.
I wish best fortune to David Wood and his family, especially his two young boys.
ps, man, he’s got a truly great on-camera delivery, he takes acerbic irony and sarcasm to heights no one else I know of has ever attained.

“ps, man, he’s got a truly great on-camera delivery, he takes acerbic irony and sarcasm to heights no one else I know of has ever attained.”
Ha ha! Yes, he does!
It’s a good thing he’s on our side. I’d hate to have that mind working against us!

I knew that David Wood had a son with a congenital illness–two children, actually–but I hadn’t realized the situation was so dire. Thanks for posting this, Mr. Spencer.
David Wood is incomparable–knowledgeable, fearless, compassionate, and has–dare I say it?–a wicked sense of humor. He is a devout Christian, but his work is a marvelous resource for everyone concerned about the threat of Islam. You can Google his videos.

“I knew that David Wood had a son with a congenital illness–two children, actually–but I hadn’t realized the situation was so dire. ”
I didn’t know all the details either until recently. It makes all the work he does all the more extraordinary. His wife is amazing as well. I can’t even imagine how they do all that they do. There doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day! Taking care of healthy kids is difficult enough. I can’t imagine four kids, and with two needing round-the-clock care. Unbelievable.
“David Wood is incomparable–knowledgeable, fearless, compassionate, and has–dare I say it?–a wicked sense of humor. He is a devout Christian, but his work is a marvelous resource for everyone concerned about the threat of Islam. You can Google his videos.”
Absolutely! I have great respect for him and his wife as well. I hope they are able to raise the funds needed for this trip. I did my small part as well. Wish I could do more.

I love David’s work and his fine work that incorporates hard truth with humor. My people perish through lack of knowledge says scripture so David Wood steps up to bring us knowledge so we do not have to perish. But we need more voices like David. The laborers are few as Jesus said. One of my favorite videos by David is how Muhammad died. It reveals everything about this hideous ideology and the horrible man who conceived it.
AleX says
My favourite video made by David is ‘Cross-dressing Mohammad’.
gravenimage says
Yes–and he does the whole thing completely deadpan while squeezed into one of his wife’s pink teddies. It is utterly hilarious.

To help David Wood is an honor. Love his efforts on behalf of our freedom.
Enjoy your travels! Godspeed!

Done. Glad to help out.

If people who have connection to Dr. Wood read, please tell him this. To go to http://www.sfsobor.com and read about St. John, the holy oil and to order some if he wants. It is for anointing the sick.They will mail it for free. This is the site of the Russian Cathedral in San Francisco and the relics of the saint are there. Many people report healing when they pray to him. The site has reports of miracles. There is an old cathedral in San Francisco with the same name. St. John was a bishop there and they still keep his robe. Very sick people are wrapped in that robe and special prayers are read for them. Some report healing. My banned friend (no_one) prays to St. John often and many things she asked for did happen. I am sure she will pray for the kids too. She donated. She things kids that ages should play football and not sit in wheel chairs. She cried for them. I can add that some priests in the Russian cathedral are American and do not speak Russian. They do speak English. All priests there speak English.

I know this beautiful church well. Are you a San Franciscan, newUser?
newUser says
No. A couple of hours from there.

They had a big celebration on July 1st. The church is beautiful indeed.

Money is on its way, David.
A small token of my appreciation for your efforts. Your work is not unnoticed and is badly needed in today’s world. Your wit and humour are just a big bonus!
May you and your beautiful family have a successful conference and road trip – and may you all lead long and happy lives where you all achieve your hopes and dreams.

Robert Spencer, thank you for this posting. I am embarrassed that I could contribute only so very little, but even that was a privilege for me. May God continue to bless you and your work, as well as keep you safe. David Wood, like Robert, you are a special treasure for all of us. May you and your beautiful family travel with the knowledge that you have answered His call … superbly.
