Felecia, you have a truly remarkable story! Your dad shared with us how your family narrowly escaped the 2003 civil war while fleeing Liberia. Here is a portion of that incredible journey. It was nothing short of a miracle!
Felecia, you were just a little girl when we first met you in the refugee camp. Provision of Hope has been supporting your mom and dad ever since that time. We were impressed with their ability to provide for your family through the frying of donuts and selling them. They would start their day as early as 4:30 am! Your dad had some medical issues, and we were grateful to be able to help with his care, as well as assist in resettling your family back home to Liberia.
We look at all God has provided for your family and we stand in awe of the kindness of others to help.
In 2008, Frank Doiron met with Karen Barkman to ask how he could get involved in the work they were doing in Africa. That was the day God inspired Frank to assist Dapae and Rita in the Buduburam Refugee Camp where they were living since 2003. This was the exact time they were hoping to resettle back to Liberia.
