Two urgent prayer requests!

Please could someone pray for a young fifteen year old girl who has suffered severe third degree burns to eighty percent of her body in a tent fire. Her tent caught fire after a gas bottle leak. She saved her other siblings lives but was burnt horribly in the process.
Her family were on holiday to try and forget the trauma of a massive bush fire they had gone through just recently. They are already doing it tough as the lost their livlihood during the fires and were trying to get back on their feet.
This leads me to my other prayer request. We are going through a drought in Australia and many towns have run out of water. Some places are trying to rely on bore water however this wont last. These towns are doing it really tough. The people dont want sympathy, they are wonderful people who would take the shirt of their backs to help anyone. So please could someone pray for rain. In some of these towns the little rain they have had almost evaporates before it hits the ground. When it does rain it sometimes causes the younger children to have nightmare because they dont know what rain is. In some parts of Australia some children have never seen rain. Please, the situation is really desperate for these people.

It rained today, but it was not enough to make a difference just yet. Most of the rivers in the south east of Australia are perilously low, and some may never recover. One river in Victoria has only 18% water in it and that wont last during summer!
