A few years ago my younger brother died from self-abuse (drugs, alcohol, smoking, etc.). His widow (Leslie) is now in the hospital with cranial hemorrhaging, likely the long term result of similar bad habits. She still has the two daughters, both in their teens. It doesn't look good for Leslie. She is vaguely spiritual but not particularly Christian, though perhaps more so than my secularist brother was. Pray as you feel led, but I'm just a bit worried about the girls. I don't think they have anywhere to go that would feel like home to them, so they are likely to end up wards of the state. Leslie has been deeply engaged with the welfare system for years.
