I just received this email from a dear friend and I ask you to pray for her and all of the family.

My cousin Robert has a 13 year old son named Victor. Victor was sent to the store in the small community of 1300 people to get some chicken for supper. It's a community in which everyone knows everyone...But what happened was shocking.

His mother was at home waiting for Victor but when he didn't return, they set out looking for him. Police noticed the family searching for someone and told them there was a young teen in the hospital. They rushed to the hospital and could only recognize him by the clothing. His face was so disfigured, bloody and swollen. Apparently someone had beaten him severely, breaking his jaw bone on both sides of his face and his cheek bones. He was left in the bushes, unconcious, after this attack, the $25.00 he had to buy the family supper was stolen.

They airlifted him from the isolated community and he was transported to Toronto Sick Kids Hospital. He is in a coma and they don't think he will survive. Please pray for this entire situation. Please pray they catch who did this. Please pray for the families involved.

Gaudior, in shock

Prayers that God in His great Mercy will bring Victor out of the coma, and heal him both physically and emotionally.

Please get out the word for prayer far and wide.

I will put him on my prayer list.

An update of sorts:

They charged 2 juveniles and 1 adult in the attack on Victor, they used a baseball bat. Well they took the 25 dollars for KFC but we don't why they would do that... They knew the victim.

Victor is in Timmins Hospital, Ontario.

No word on his condition. Please keep praying.

How horrible this world is, sometimes...and may God watch over Victor, and heal him!

Gaudior, still stunned at the brutality of this crime

PRAISE GOD! AND PLEASE KEEP UP YOUR PRAYERS..

VICTOR IS OUT OF THE COMA!!! biggrin
he isn't able to talk... and she doesn't know if they stuck a tube down his throat...or if the injuries were too tramatic. Doctors don'tknow if he'll make a full recovery... they still can't assess him yet. His nose was broken, his cheekbones, his jawbones. I guess that is why he can't talk.

Please keep praying!
