The Erbsens were the other family the Ormans helped support. Friedrich Erbsen and his wife, whose name was never mentioned, had two small children: a girl who was 3 years old and a boy who was about 8 months old at the earliest letter in March of 1947. Mr. Erbsen served in the First World War but not the second due to health problems. 

​

Most of their belongings were destroyed in the war, leaving them with nothing and no way to buy more clothes, supplies, furniture, or other goods. 

​

Mr. and Mrs. Erbsen were faithful Christians who constantly expressed their gratitude for the packages.
