“It was amazing to see how God cares for us,” Rebekah said. “Ariel has touched a lot of lives. A lot of her nurses were in awe of what God had done for her.”

Maharaj said Ariel would have died had she been born in Trinidad instead of being born in the U.S. Trinidad does not have the facilities Ariel needed, and it reminded him how much God cares for him and his family.

“If we didn’t decide to come to Moultrie,” Maharaj said, “she would have died. We had more reasons to stay in Trinidad than to come here.”

The family will return to Trinidad at the end of March. Sean and Rebekah also have a 23-month old daughter, Sierra.
