Origins:   This message about a 5-year-old girl named Harly Andrews supposedly hit by a car is yet another prayer request with a lack of checkable details (e.g., contact information, date of injury, residence location, name of hospital where treatment was sought, mention of press accounts) beyond a fairly common given name and surname that make it nearly impossible to verify as real without additional information.
