As many of you may know, Danny Gokey has a tragic backstory. In July 2008, his wife, Sophia underwent routine surgery for congenital heart disease. It was the third surgery she had but she died from complications. Sophia was a fan of the show and encouraged Gokey to be a contestant. He started a foundation in her name with some of her family members who are also musicians. The foundation includes a program to provide donated musical instruments to students. Faith Builders church adheres to prosperity theology and Gokey's foundation website also expresses these beliefs although potential beneficiaries are not required to adhere to any religious teachings or be a member of the church.
Danny Gokey is truly amazing, and should be the Season 8 American Idol winner!!!!!
