Renee Bondi

“Igniting the Fire Within”

At age 29, Renée Bondi was engaged to be married and had a beautiful singing voice, a thriving career as a music teacher, and a loving family. But then one night a bizarre accident shattered her spine and left her quadriplegic. Her life changed forever. Renée lost not only all use of her hands and legs, but also her singing voice -- she could barely speak above a whisper. Unwilling to accept that her life was over, Renée searched her heart and surrounded herself with friends that made her laugh and smile honestly. Although there were many dark days, Renée continued to persevere. Against all odds and all physicians prognosis, Renée's voice was miraculously restored with a crystal clear, angelic sound. Renée harnessed her talents to inspire and give hope to others. Renée has augmented her gifts to include a dynamic speaking ability that grabs her audiences. Whether performing a powerful concert or sharing her profound and victorious story that includes paralysis and a life confined to a wheelchair, those who hear Renée are uplifted and mesmerized by her angelic voice, music and messages.
