Man Seeks To Spread Love, Not Hate. For The Suffering He’s One Who
Delivers Hope. A Story About Paul McLaughlin

Your background isn’t as important as what you do with your future, says
Paul McLaughlin also known as "The Miracle Man."

Many people around Portland, Eugene and Springfield, Oregon have seen his
street campain sign encouraging them to "Help Stop Child Abuse."

Others have benefited from funds he has raised for child abuse programs
and hospitals.

Still others, who tell him of abuse they have suffered, may hear words of
encouragement based on his own background.

"No matter what happened to you in the past, "he says, "However horrible
it was, don’t blame it on God or other people. HE can help you turn
everything around so you can help others who have suffered. "The Miracle
Man is a living proof.

For many years, Paul had no hope for a better future.

"I thought I would stay small forever and never grow up, and always live
in a world of pain and hate."

He almost lost the chance to grow up.
