Two earthquakes and hundreds of aftershocks have devastated Nepal since
April 25. Millions have been affected, and over 8,500 people lost their
lives.Below you will find to stories of some of those effected by this; I ask that you pray for them and the others.
Drashtaa, a widow, lost her only granddaughter in the
Nepal earthquake when the 16-year-old had gone into the forest to
collect firewood. She is left alone, and like many others in Nepal, she
does not know how she will start life again. Please pray for the people
of Nepal to find comfort and help in their time of need.
Bhukima lost her husband in the disaster. He was mining for gemstones in the forest when the earthquake hit. She has five children to care for alone. Right now, she is dependent on the kindness of neighbors who are letting her stay in their tents.
Kaanan lost his wife, son, daughter, and a niece when his house collapsed in the Nepal earthquake. The home is in debris, and he doesn’t know how he will rebuild or earn a livelihood to support his mother and youngest son. Our hearts are heavy for earthquake survivors like this man.
TaranaWhen the earth started shaking, Tarana’s husband rushed inside their home to look for their children, unaware that they were safe outside. The house collapsed on him, and Tarana is now widowed, caring for five children on her own. It’s hard to imagine going through such heartache. Please pray for Tarana, her family and other Nepal earthquake survivors as if they were your own family members.
