      A lady I used to go to church with has had a really bad run of things in the last six months.  She lost her job and her apartment and now her only child, her daughter.  In the beginning of January she got evicted from her apartment so instead of her and her daughter being homeless she asked long time friends of hers to take care of her daughter until she could find a job and a place for them to live. 

This past Monday her daughter was killed, mauled by the caregivers dog.  It's a sad, sad story.  I will embed it here. 

I'm asking for prayers for the mom.  She is distraught.

I saw this on the news. It broke my heart. She seems like such a caring loving lady who was just doing what was best for her daughter. I just couldn't imagine.

Rockbottom - and too touching. Prayers are there in abundance for the distraught mother and her family.

A piece which the animal lovers should also read. It is one thing to avoid cruelty towards animals, but keeping fierce animals is something people need to avoid.

Moreover, the tenant-landlord concept is horrible. At times I feel the comunist concept of equal rights and similar possession is good for the world, but then even China is grappling with the problem of population and feeding her millions.

The plight of this lady is really worth considering. Wish some philanthropists took care of the situation for a break and relieve the lady of her unendurable sorrow, pain and hardship.

Oh yes. I read this yesterday or day before. I can't imagine where my comment is. Sometimes I think I forget to hit submit.
I feel sick for Mom ... but for that wonderful couple also. How can they live with this?
We need to pray for all. At least we know that the little girl is happy.
Thank you for sharing this Danielle.

Such a horrible situation for all involved.
