The couple had just moved from Moncton, New Brunswick to Vancouver in early September. Nathan, 25, is starting his masters of divinity at Regent College. Sabrina, 26, who is recovering from a dislocated knee, has a new job teaching violin to underprivileged children at St. James Music Academy.

“I was shocked. It was surreal,” said Nathan. “When you hire a moving company, you don’t ever imagine all your things might be gone.”

“We don’t have a lot of things,” added Sabrina. “We live in a small place, so what we packed in that truck meant a lot to us.”
