Emmanuel is heading to Texas!

From the Lone Star of Africa to the Lonestar State, Emmanuel and his mother Doreen will be heading to Texas for heart surgery in Mid-February.  HeartGift has agreed to perform the surgery for Emmanuel and will cover all medical costs related to the procedure!  You can read a little more about Emmanuel when he took a trip to Ghana last year.  I hope to post a short video with Doreen and Emmanuel in the next couple days talking about their upcoming trip.

The surgery will take place in Austin, so Doreen and Emmanuel will get to stay with our friends the Dosseys for the 6 weeks +/- that he is in the states.  Jamie has already completed his medical visa application and we will be taking them for their interview soon.  Then we just need to get Doreen and Emmanuel to the US.

Flights are not cheap to and from Liberia so round trip airfare for them will run about $4,500.  If you would like to help and contribute to Emmanuel's airfare, you can go to: https://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/help-emmanuel-get-to-tx-for-surgery/121692

Thank you for your prayers and support!
