    The prayer for Pidyon Nefesh is a very powerful prayer that can help a person get through very difficult times in their life.

    As I wrote to you, there are sites that offer their services for a fee, to have pious and learned scholars recite the prayer in your merit. I cannot vouch for any of the sites and I would suggest that you look into them very carefully before you make any kind of a financial commitment.

    For a description of the prayer and what it entails, I would suggest that you look at the some of the Pidyon Nefesh sites, where you will be able to read about it in great detail.
