Sarel and Ingrid

This week we are asking you to please pray for this family.  Sarel and Ingrid Pretorius, from Britstown.  Ingrid has been in her wheelchair for over 25 years, and Sarel been such a awesome husband always seeing and helping Ingrid with all the house chores, picking her in and out of bed into the wheelchair etc. In short he is the spindle which the Pretorius household turns around.

The sad news is that Sarel has been diagnosed with very aggressive cancer, he was taken to Kimberly Hospital where he had to undergo tests, the surgeons were very puzzled with his condition, HE WENT TOTALLY PARALYZED.  The result cannot walk anymore and therefor everything that he used to do for both him and Ingrid, now has to be done by other people.

Sarel and Ingrid had to make the most difficult decision ever!.... was he going to take the treatment or not.

Sarel decided  not to go for the treatment but spend the last few months with his wonderful and dear wife and friend Ingrid.  The only problem was that they are now both in wheelchairs and need help...

A fairy tale, retirement, house up on the hill in Britstown, turned into a nightmare their 

dream that never came true.  Instead they have to be dependent on other people.  

They are both at Gentlecare and are now having to sell their house.  

Please pray and think of these exceptional people, 

that they will know and feel that they are so special and loved.
