Father’s Day show to feature personal stories about fatherhood

Mario Bonds has turned tragedy into triumph.

Bonds, who suffered blindness at the age of 10, has overcome childhood abuse, poverty, homelessness and abandonment.

And he has worked relentlessly to beat the odds.

“Many have lived the universal story of wanting to belong to someone — to have family or experience unconditional parental love. With my adoption of four boys came the opportunity for me to make the biggest impact yet,” said Bonds, a 33-year-old actor, singer, songwriter and professional speaker.

“While my story has taken me to Hollywood and back, my greatest accomplishment was the adoption of four boys, whom, despite my blindness, still think I’m ‘Super Mario.’”
