Hi, Jonathan —
Off the top of my head, I'd read to her Matthew 10:29-30,
"Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows."
- Or Matthew 6:25-34 about the lilies of the field.
- Or by faith, we are adopted as sons and daughters of God.
(Galatians 4:5-6, Ephesians 1:5, 2 Corinthians 6:18, Romans 8:14, Hebrews 12:5-8, Romans 9:26).
If so, of course, God cares for each and every one of us. 1 Peter 5:6-7 says,
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."
That's addressed to all of us, not just those in war, poverty, and disease.
She may find this encyclical by Blessed John Paul II enlightening:
