The girl is Prem Kumari (14, deaf) and the boy Vijay Babu (11). Their father left the home when Vijay was a baby. Their mother then killed herself with rat poison. The grandparents have always cared for the children. The grandfather's spinal cord and knee problems have progressed to the point he is no longer able to work. The family (there's also a great grandmother in the home) is surviving with a disability pension for Prem Kumari, another pension which the great grandmother is receiving as a widow, and we are giving some food each month. Please pray for this family.
A quick update about Brother Raju's 3 month old baby boy: he's doing a little better and came home a couple of days ago. Still they are keeping a close eye on him, and taking him to the doctor again soon.
