Barbara Zarlinga has been my lifelong friend, and I have always admired her strength and kindness. On Sunday, February 8th, 2026, Barbara experienced an unimaginable tragedy when her seven-year-old twin sons tragically drowned. The loss has left her and her family heartbroken, and they are now facing not only emotional pain but also significant financial challenges.

The suddenness of this loss has brought unexpected expenses, including funeral costs and medical bills. Barbara has always been the first to offer help to others in need, and now she needs our support more than ever. By coming together as a community, we can help ease some of the burdens she is facing and show her that she is not alone.

During times like these, even the smallest act of kindness can bring comfort. If you’re able, please consider offering your support to Barbara and her family. Your generosity and compassion will help them find strength and hope as they face the difficult days ahead.
