I need to open this for a few days.....
My youthhood friend, I named my daughter for, has her only daughter in India, 150 miles from Mumbai. The Canadian Government is trying to get her out, safely, but she is unable to get out of the ashram she is staying in for the time. She was able to go once a week to shop and get email, but right now she may not be allowed to do that. She cannot be flown out yet because Mumbai is the hub she must fly out of. There is much danger in using public transportation and to be in public places. Due to the elections in Indian, dangers of attack are escalating.
Alicia was taking her martial arts training there.
LaRae is “trying to keep her sanity,” she says, and “praying for her safe return” and asks that we do the same. “We will not rest easy until we see the whites of her eyes ..”
Please keep her in your thoughts so she can come home safely to Alberta and her family.
