Shternie Federman, the infant daughter of Rabbi Asher and Henya Federman, shluchim to the Virgin Islands, tragically passed away after a drowning accident. Her mother, who attempted to save her, is in need of tefillos.
Late on Tuesday the shluchim to the Virgin Islands and some of their younger children were near the ocean, when their 4-month old baby slipped into the water — followed immediately by her parents, who tried desperately to save their baby but the mother got stuck underwater.
People nearby helped pull the shluchah out, and worked for a very long time to resuscitate her. On life-support, she was transferred on Wednesday via special medical transport to Miami for urgent medical intervention.
The baby’s body was recovered some time later, and has since been released to Chesed Shel Emes.
The public is requested to urgently increase in Torah, Tefillah and Tzedakah, along with peulos of Hakhel and chizuk ha’hiskashrus to learn the Rebbe’s teachings, in merit of a refuah shleimah u’krovah for Shluchah Henya bas Brachah Devorah Leah Federman.
