💙 A few weeks ago, we had the honor of serving the Farrar family, our April Party With Purpose winners.
If you’ve followed their story, you know they’ve faced more challenges over the past several years than most families will face in a lifetime. Through medical struggles, surgeries, cancer, and countless obstacles, they continue to smile, lean on their faith, and pour into others.
For two days, we had the privilege of setting up one of our waterslides for their family and watching the girls simply be kids.
At one point, one of the girls looked at me and said:
“This is the most fun day I’ve ever had.”
That moment stopped me in my tracks.
Because that’s why we do this.
Many people who haven’t walked through incredibly difficult seasons don’t always realize the impact those hardships can have on children. No matter how hard we try as parents to shield them, they still feel it. Their day-to-day life is different. Birthdays, holidays, family time, and even simple moments can look very different than what most of us take for granted.
That’s where I believe we, as a community, can step in.
Sometimes bringing joy to a child isn’t about solving every problem. It’s about giving them a chance to laugh, play, make memories, and just be a kid for a little while.
Watching those girls race down the slide, laugh together, and enjoy every minute reminded me why we keep pushing forward with Party With Purpose.
When life gets hard for me, families like the Farrars inspire me to keep going. Their strength, resilience, and ability to keep smiling through the storms is something I won’t forget.
Thank you, Farrar family, for allowing us to be a small part of your story. 💙
This is why we do what we do.
