A Friend, Photog and Freelancer

This is to those who know Darrell Oake and those who just have big hearts:

A hard-working and incredibly memorable former colleague of mine, now a freelancer, has three children and a wife whose married career has been raising them and being a wife to Darrell. Now the wage earner in that family has been knocked out by Guillain-Barre syndrome. I was terribly concerned to hear he was in the ICU. We understand his condition has improved, but it's expected to be a long road back.

A trusted friend of his, Frank Zinck, is collecting both money (via PayPal) and gifts to get Darrell's family through the holidays with less fear and discomfort. He guarantees 100% of the funds and items collected will go directly to the family, and I am very satisfied that it will. If you can find it in your heart to help I would personally appreciate whatever large or small thing you can do. The link will also give you a bit of information on the syndrome (which looks like a very nasty piece of work indeed!). Much love to both Darrell and his family and to those who help them through this tough time.
