Today he is 36, he still wears cheap shoes and clothes and owns a small car only, but he is much happier.
Until now Tom has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, $200 a month for each. The child does not receive the money in cash (现金) . The money pays for the child's school expenses, food, medical care and clothing. Tom receives a report on the children's progress each year.

Once Tom went to visit a little girl in Africa. “When I saw her, I felt very happy, ” he said, “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan.
