Episode • May 22 • 1h 12m

Growing up in Zimbabwe, Laurence Blair’s family faced numerous challenges, leading them to have no choice but flee. 

He married his wife, an American, whom he met in Kenya. They tragically lost their first child at 34 weeks pregnant due to his wife’s sudden liver rupture. Nearly losing his wife too.

At the birth of their twins, after 33 minutes without oxygen, their son suffered severe complications. 

This is a story of a man prepared to do anything for his and his family's wellbeing. I highly enjoyed this.
