Abandoned But Precious Ministry

Your prayers and financial support have helped Keeretha and her family begin the long recovery period from her severe burns. From the attached picture you can see that she is now an out-patient; however, she still needs God’s help in a prolonged recovery period. We can all give glory to God that He not only hears our prayers, but answers them, too!

Please continue to pray and financially support the Abandoned But Precious ministry.

Abandoned But Precious ministries has updated the prayer chain on the condition of third-grade Indian student, Keerthana, who suffered burns over 40% of her body.
To pay for the hospital bills thus far and to keep Keerthana from being denied further treatment and discharged they need $2,000.- We are going to wire transfer that amount this morning to Joseph to cover the cost already occurred. Any help for continued care would be deeply appreciated, as our main concern is that she will be prematurely released and get an infection. Thank you for your prayers

Brother Joseph of the orphanage writes:

Even your smallest help will help them to be liberated from the clutches of the money lenders. Right now they [the family] have borrowed money from the money lenders to pay the hospital bills, for a high interest. There was no other go [choice]. The child has to be saved. They were necessitated to do this. What to do? If some private philanthropists come forward to help her it will be good. Ultimately God’s HOLY WILL be done. Very sorry to trouble you. We will send you all the evidences and proofs.

Brother Joseph has provided that proof with photos and hospital bills. Two of the photos (before and after) are attached. If you have any financial resources available to help, please contact Thomas or Suzanne Ashinger at 619-997-7119. Please keep ABP and Keerthana in your prayers; that God uses this tragedy, in ways we do not understand, to further His glory.

Before and after

Attached is an email we got from Joseph regarding a little girl who was burned over 40% of her body. Please pray for her recovery and also the funds needed to provide for her hospitalization. We thought some might be interested in reading the email for more details. Thanks.

Dear Respected Brother Thomas and Sister Suzanne
======================
Thank you for your beautiful letter. Please do not think that we are exploiting your goodness. No. Not at all. On 27th October Keerthana was in her house-a small one room rented house in our street. Keerthana’s father Balasubramanian is working as a salesman in a rice shop where they sell only rice ready for cooking-not paddy. He is employed in that shop for many years. He had gone to that shop. Keerthana’s mother Muthammal is working in another shop as a sales girl. Every day both of them go to their respective workplaces after sending their two children to school. Keerthana has a younger sister. Her name is Kavi. She is in the LKG. Usually both the children go to school in the morning and come back home around 4-30. This is what happens every day except Sundays. On Sundays all the four of them remain at home. On 29th October Monday Tamilnadu Government had declared a holiday to all the educational institutions. So the children stayed back. Kavi had gone to play outside. Keerthana was at home. In view of DEEPAWALI the Hindu festival (this year falls on 8th November) the children were cracking firecrackers. Every year they do this in the festival season. That way Keerthana too was enjoying fire crackers. All of a sudden her maxi got fired. She did not know that in the beginning. Then the fire spread all over the body. Then she screamed and cried. The next door neighbors rushed to the spot. They extinguished the fire and rushed her to the nearby hospital. The first aid was done. Then she was moved to the child specialist hospital. She had 40 per cent fire burns. The doctors said that immediately plastic surgery should be done. Then they did. After that they moved her to the Fire Accident Specialty hospital. That is GRACE KENNET HOSPITAL. She is there now undergoing treatment. She may be discharged around 15th November.
