A Facebook Posting
April 28, 2015
On this day, my niece and her husband were in Nepal, doing some volunteer work at an orphanage. A major earthquake struck the area, killing many people and destroying whole communities.
On the other side fo the globe, my nephew, Ryan, was a place officer in Baltimore, MD. A young, black man had just died in the hands of the police and the city erupted in to five days of anger and riots and chaos.

They will be leaving Nepal tomorrow and heading to Malaysia as most tourists have been advised to leave the country. Continuued prayers for the Nepali people and eternally grateful for the safety of our family during this crisis.
Paula Cassey: Prayers for your nephew as well Bridget!
Susan Descano: Oh my Bridget E Kelly. I wish them safe travels. Just so sad.
Patty Leever: Sending prayers for both of them.
Kim Romasko: My daughter Meagan works in the area where the riots are taking place and my niece's husband is a Baltimore police officer. Stressful to say the least!
Rosemary Touhill: Kelly strong! They are from good stock..May God watch over them and protect them..and also for you Kim Romasko..

Bridget E Kelly: An update from Steve's mother; "Thanks for all the prayers and support. Just heard from our son and they are tired but finally safe in Malaysia after an overnight flight out of Nepal. Glad that they have completed this part of their adventure".
Bridget E Kelly: And Ryan is also safe. So thanks everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you;
Bridget E Kelly: And Heather just posted on her site: Steve and I are very grateful to report that we landed safely in malaysia this morning. It has been a very emotional few days, as we watch our nepalese friends and neighbors cope with this tragic event. my heart aches for the wonderful people of Nepal, who have showed us so much warmth, kindness and generosity during our short time here. The next few months will certainly be a challenging road ahead, but I have no doubt of their amazing strength and resiliency as they rebuild.
If you have the resources, please, please consider contributing to red cross nepal earthquake relief fund to support this beautiful country and its truly amazing people. thank you.
