I am not a Christian and do not believe in a Christian God. However, I do believe that something is out there spiritually and kindly request that all religious send that support to my family right now, no matter what form it comes in. We really need it.

My youngest neice was - and still is - in Beichuan when the Earthquake hit. It killed my 72 year old grandmother, who was taking care of Sarah (my neice), and injured my brother. Sarah, who is only five and very small, hasn't been found yet.

The Red Cross and the Chinese law officials are digging up around the area, trying to find as many people as they can. But I feel completely helpless.

I don't want pity, just... something. A spell. Some prayers. Just anything that might help.

You and your family are all in my prayers and in my thoughts.

What you need to do is have hope. I know at a time like this its hard to have hope cuz it feels like your world is crashing. I haven't been through exactly what you're going through but I know what its like to lose someone then fear losing another. Its tough but you have to have hope. Hope things will work out.

My heart goes out to you.


Gods child,

Save, O Lord, those who have died in grievous sufferings, those who were murdered, those buried alive, those who were drowned or burned, those who were torn by wild beasts, those who died of hunger or cold, from exposure in storms, or by falling from heights, and grant them all eternal joy for the sorrow of their death.. May the time of their suffering be blessed as a day of redemption, for which they sing: ALLELUIA.

Praying for you and your family. My heart goes out to you as you wade through this difficult time. I know this must be very hard. I know that you aren't a Christian and I don't want to sway you in any direction - just give you a little comfort from a verse that we often turn to in times like these. "And Jesus said "Suffer not the little children and forbid them not to come unto me for such is the kingdom of Heaven."

I am postive that God is with your little Sarah in this time, along with you and your entire family. May you find peace as you move forward and hope of good things to come.
