Please donate to help Noel Johansen and his family

It is with a deep sadness and a very heavy heart for which I am reaching out to you about this cause. My name is Michael Daingerfield Hall from Vancouver, BC, Canada and I am a very close friend and business partner of Noel Johansen. On Saturday April 26th, while attending the Lapu-Lapu event celebrating Filipino culture on Fraser St., Noel's wife Jen Darbellay was struck and killed by an SUV as it drove through the crowd. I am literally in shock as I write this - but I want to do something for Noel and his 2 children Ford (15) and Darby (7). This is an incredibly difficult time for Noel, and moving forward with his life is going to feel insurmountable. I know that his work will undoubtedly be affected and I would really like for him and his family to be supported during this time. There will be many costs including airfare for immediate family, food, child care, counselling, funeral expenses, etc. Jen was a one-of-a-kind. She was an incredibly thoughtful, warm, caring, smart, stylish, artistic woman. A gifted painter, a selfless mother, and a loving wife. She gave the best hugs, was always there to listen without judgement, and had the sweetest voice. She was not only special to me and my family (wife and kids), but she was special to many other friends and people - giving of herself volunteering on the PAC committee at Sir Alexander Mackenzie, Darby's school. Please help Noel and his family get through this difficult time with ease of mind, it would mean a lot to me, and of course Noel. Thank you for any support. Every bit counts.
