On August 10th, life changed forever for three beautiful young children who lost both of their parents. In the midst of unimaginable loss, Deserei and Vince Parga didn’t hesitate — they opened their hearts and their home, becoming legal guardians and expanding their family overnight from seven to ten.

This isn’t just about stepping in during a crisis. This is about building a full, joyful, magical life for these children — for the next 18 years and far beyond.

The Parga family is committed to giving all eight children a home filled with stability, laughter, adventure, and deep, unconditional love. They believe these children deserve more than survival — they deserve celebration, opportunity, security, and a childhood that still feels big and beautiful despite profound loss.

But love, as powerful as it is, also requires logistics.

Bigger family means bigger everything:

• A bigger home with room for everyone to feel safe and settled

• A bigger vehicle

• Bigger grocery bills

• bigger school needs,

• bigger medical and therapy support

• Bigger schedules, bigger dreams, bigger futures

Deserei, an emergency department nurse, and Vince, a paramedic firefighter, have spent their lives running toward emergencies and serving others. They are not people who ask for help easily, but this moment is bigger than anyone can face alone. Now, they are building something extraordinary at home — a place where grief is met with tenderness, where healing is intentional, and where eight children grow up knowing they are fiercely loved.

This fundraiser will help provide:

• Trauma-informed therapy and mental health resources

• Time and flexibility to focus on family during this transition

• Support toward a larger home and family vehicle

• The everyday needs that come with raising eight thriving kids

They have committed to these children for 18 years and beyond. This isn’t temporary. This is forever.

If you feel moved to support, your support will give this family the space to grieve, the resources to heal, stability and a magical, love-filled childhood for the Parga & Lyle children they so deeply deserve.

If you’re unable to give financially, sharing this page is a powerful way to surround this family with community.

Thank you for helping build something bigger than tragedy — a future filled with hope, belonging, and love.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for lifting this family up during the most difficult time of their lives.

This campaign serves as the exclusive crowdfunding effort established to directly support the Lyle children under the care of their legal guardians.
