Many of you know my friend, WIN BOSS, and incredible business partner, Christina, and her husband, Darrel. Together they own VanClark Agency Insurance. Over the years, they have cared for so many families... including my own and countless clients... with integrity, kindness, and genuine compassion. Recently, their family received unexpected news that Darrel was diagnosed with a genetic heart condition and will undergo open-heart surgery on August 17. As you can imagine, this has turned life upside down pretty quickly. When Christina shared the news with me, I asked, "How can I help?" True to who she is, she said she was simply grateful for the love, prayers, and encouraging messages from family and friends. But she also shared one thing that has been weighing on her. While she'll be by Darrel's side during his surgery, being away from her kids for that week is causing her a lot of anxiety. She wants to know they're cared for, happy, and well-fed while she focuses on supporting him. Because of a few different food allergies and preferences, preparing meals isn't always simple. Christina shared that one of the biggest blessings would be gift cards that allow the kids to choose meals they know are safe and enjoy. If you'd like to help lighten their load, gift cards to Uber Eats, Chipotle, Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Red Robin would be incredibly appreciated. They live in Battle Ground, making gift cards the easiest and most practical way to support them during this time. If you've ever been blessed by Christina and Darrell's generosity, professionalism, or friendship, this is a beautiful opportunity to pour a little of that love back into their family. Thank you for helping surround them with prayers, encouragement, and practical support as Darrell undergoes surgery and begins his recovery. Every message, every prayer, and every gift card will help ease the burden and remind them they are deeply loved and not walking this journey alone.
