Meanwhile, Christ for Life Church on Long Island is organizing a fundraiser to help the family of the drowned children, Ruth Evangeline Gali (4yrs and 11 months) & Selah Grace Gali (2yrs and 11 months).
Their father David is stuck in India due to visa issues. Mother Sudha Parimala lives in Holtsville, Long island. They have been members of Christ for Life Church since the time of their marriage. 
The church is working towards bringing David back into the US with an emergency visa based on compassionate grounds. After David’s visa is sorted, the funeral arrangements will have to be made.
