EPISODE 189: THE JOURNEY OF RESILIENCE (WITH ISRAEL DEL TORO JR.)
Master Sergeant and American hero Israel Del Toro (DT) Jr.’s life and spiritual journey is one of resilience, hope, encouragement, and the enduring strength of family bonds. It all began at a young age and a promise he made to his father. That promise was echoed in another DT made to his son, which then guided him through many hardships and tribulations.
On December 5, 2005, DT’s life changed completely. While he was on a mission in the Air Force the Humvee he was in ran over an Improvised Explosive Device (IED.) The resulting explosion burned over 80% of DT’s body and he was given a 15% chance of survival. His determination to live and the healing process were just the beginning.
Listen to DT share with Nichole and listeners all about his life experiences, his recovery against enormous odds, and how his story of resilience transforms into one of unwavering determination and the power of self-discovery.
DT now finds purpose in sharing his wisdom with people around the country in hopes of helping others find the light in the darkness. He tells the full story in his inspiring memoir, A Patriot’s Promise: Protecting My Brothers, Fighting for My Life, and Keeping my Word. You can also learn more about his journey through his website, send him an email at shades427@aol.com, or connect with him on Instagram, Facebook, or X.
