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 mother, who tried desperately to save her baby but 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 sometime later and has since been released to Chesed Shel Emes.
The public is requested to urgently increase in Torah, Tefillah, and Tzedakah, in the merit of a refuah shleimah u’krovah for Shluchah Henya bas Brachah Devorah Leah Federman.
Levaya information for baby Shterna Sarah will be posted when known.
May Klal Yisroel see no more pain, Besuros Tovos.
