If anyone could pray for my friend, she is currently homeless with a 5 year old son and being 18 year old herself, and a broken rib, just going through a lot. Hopefully her situation will get better soon, some security for her and her son and that she continues being so strong through this all.
I would appreciate it very much.
Prayers for my friend

Re: Prayers for my friend
Does this person have a Buddhist place close by that could offer refuge? Or even a church? If not, does this person have spiritual practices they rely on? You mention a broken rib. Have they visited a local non-profit medical clinic that might work on a sliding fee scale? There are even some places that don't charge for medical care, but they are rare. Some hospitals also offer financial assistance programs.If anyone could pray for my friend, she is currently homeless with a 5 year old son and being 18 year old herself, and a broken rib, just going through a lot.

I can try sending metta. Could you send a first name and location?

No, no churches, or buddhist places, its a small village, hence she is unable to seek medical help either. I am unable to send her money. Yeah it would be of immense help hopefully, we all like to call her stars and she lives in western zambia.
Thank you so much
