Hi, my name is Venessa, and Darryl is more than a friend to me — he’s family. On December 11th, a devastating fire tore through Darryl and April’s shop, destroying everything they had worked a lifetime to build. In a matter of moments, they lost their entire livelihood, several vehicles, and tragically, their beloved dog, who was a cherished part of their family.

Anyone who knows Darryl knows that he is the first to show up when someone needs help. He never asks for anything in return, and he gives with a full heart — to neighbors, friends, and anyone in the community who needs a hand. He is truly a pillar of his community, and loved by so many.

This time, Darryl and April are the ones who need support. With no insurance to cover the loss, they are facing an unimaginable challenge as they try to rebuild their lives from the ground up. I know times are hard for many, but if you’ve ever been helped by Darryl or simply want to uplift good people in a moment of heartbreaking loss, any contribution — big or small — would mean the world.

Thank you for taking the time to read, share, or support in any way you can. Your kindness will help them take their first steps toward rebuilding what was lost.
