Their firstborn, Jason passed away from epilepsy in 1994, when he was 21 years old. Fifteen years ago, their daughter, Heidi co-founded a non-profit organization, providing wells and clean water for over a million people in Malawi Africa.
In July of 2016, they met Abraham at a Bible conference. He shared his dream of helping his native country economically and medically; and had a desire of starting a non-profit to fund it. They brought Abrahm to the Project CURE headquarters in Centennial, CO, and he was amazed at the vast amount of used medical equipment and supplies. They formed a bond to join Abraham in helping his country with their vast medical needs and assisted him in forming his non-profit, Redemption In Action (RIA).
