For anyone who has ever had the pleasure of knowing the Farias: Bob, Paula, Nick, Tim, and Andrew, you know that they bend over backwards helping their family, friends, and community, and drop what they're doing before you can even say "help".

Bob suffered an ischemic stroke on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025. He is currently in the Neuro Critical Care unit at Rhode Island Hospital. A pillar of strength, family, and leadership, he is under the watchful care of his medical team, taking things moment by moment.

In the season of giving, for a family that has always given whatever they could, if you feel so inclined, please consider donating to help Paula and the family, not just through the holidays, but for the very long road ahead.

We are endlessly grateful for the outpouring of prayers, love, and support over the last several days. Every little bit helps; as we all know, medical care is costly.
