Out of lurkdom.......the article I'm trying to reference below which I believe might be from an earlier post suggests it was his sister, not Louise who came to visit him in Liberia:
His sister came from the United States and he asked for a day off so that he could go meet her at the Mamba Point Hotel, Mr. Brunson said, mentioning a hotel popular among foreigners. He quit a few weeks after that.
The article also goes on to explain how Marthalene may have contracted ebola:
"But a cousin who came to visit Ms. Williams later died of Ebola after apparently being infected by her mother, who is now in a Ebola treatment center..."

Does Louise work? If she traveled over there and back, why? if he was coming back in a few weeks?
Yes, she probably could of convinced him to come, but if he has dual citizenship, his money he made would be tax free.
He lived very poorly for a man used to a better life here.
We need more info on why he came also.
Why did he quit his job?
Why did he carry a dying girl to 3 hospitals? knowing her parents had just died of Ebola?
