They are a humble people by going out of their way to help another. Definitely inspirational to others around the world. I'm glad she's ok

The Congo as we know it is a rural country. Thank God she is fine but she brings much attention to this region of Congo of Africa for medical support.

How incredibly loving these people are.
I pray that God blesses all of them for doing so much to help her.
Get well soon Ashley.
