Urgent prayers are needed for a young, bright, mother of 8 months old boy – Raajal Job.
Life has never been promised to be easy, and as we get older or go through accidents we sometimes have to go through certain medical procedures or even surgery. Some of these are minor fixes and some are extremely serious undertakings. In such a situation we need two things – an excellent medical team to perform the medical procedures and prayers – give these situations to God and trust in Him through it all.
Raajal Job, a young bright, intelligent girl was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had a brain surgery and it was a success. But she is struggling to recover. The medical team did their job and now we need to do ours with our prayers. Please pray for her full and fast recovery.
Her mother and siblings Prashant, Amol and Sneha are on their way to Toronto from India, to be with Raajal, Sidhartha and Viraaj. Raajal married Sidhartha in 2012 and just gave a birth to Viraaj in June 2015.
