ORLEANS – The Orleans community is invited to a prayer gathering for Aben Westfall, a local boy who is seriously ill and has been in the ICU at Riley Children’s Hospital for the last 11 days. His parents are teachers in Orleans.

Aben is fighting for his life; he is on a ventilator and a CRR (dialysis) machine. His lungs are fragile. According to his parents, Anna and Aaron Westfield, doctors and specialists are still trying to figure out the “why.” The family is waiting for results from laboratory tests.

The gathering will take place on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. at Orleans Elementary School, near the flagpole.

All are welcome to join in prayer for Aben’s healing, as well as for strength and comfort for him and his family during this difficult time.
