Prayers and well wishes to Emma from France

Emma and Eric Defresne once again opened their hearts and their homes to our project coordinator, Anrich. This time, Anrich’s wife, Pia, joined.

Anrich tells us that “We stayed at Emma and Eric for a few days, and it felt really good to be back in their loving home. They treated us like best friends, like family, and like their own children. Emma and Eric went out of their way to pick us up, cook for us, and again drop us at the train station. We felt very much loved and cared for. Thank you so much, Emma and Eric.”

On the 11th of May, Emma has a heart operation scheduled. After the heart operation, she will have to stay in the intensive care unit to recover.

Please think of Emma and Eric during this time, and you can send your well wishes to Emma by mailing her, or by dropping a comment below. Or, send her a WhatsApp: +33 613 38 9029

We will share more news on this topic in the coming weeks.

Please share this. Thank you!
