Heidi Blake, a teacher at McKinney Christian Academy, and her daughter are currently stranded in Israel. The area is under constant missile attacks and they are having to shelter in bunkers multiple times day and night.

She left the US on June 9th to travel for a short-term mission trip to Israel and was supposed to come home on June 17th. Now, with airports shut down and transportation severely limited, she is unable to return home to her other 4 children and husband, who miss them deeply. Her husband, Sky, pastors a small church in Anna TX.

Here are several ways you can help:

- Pray for peace in the Middle East. Pray for the leaders of all nations to have wisdom and unity. Pray for the innocents, like Heidi, who are unintentionally caught in the middle. Pray specifically for Heidi and her daughter’s safe return, for their anxiousness to subside and their faith to be strengthened. Pray also for her husband Sky and their children.

-This GoFundMe was created to support Heidi and her family during this incredibly difficult time. Being far from her children—especially under dangerous conditions—has placed a huge emotional and financial burden on them.
