Meet the Boardmans!


After much searching, God has given us another flood family to walk with towards recovery! Meet Darla Boardman (pictured here in the blue shirt). She is a neat lady with a big heart. She lives with her two sons (one of whom has Down's Syndrome) and her 65 year old mother who is in a wheelchair. She is working through the same hired contractor as the Gruhn's, who introduced us.

When I met her for the first time today, we both had this, "I know you from somewhere!" moment. Well, it turns out Darla watched our son, Kirk, when he was an infant at his old daycare! Can you believe that?! Katie and I LOVED her when she took care of our son. I can tell you she has a heart of gold. And her poor heart is stretched and stressed out! She could use a hug and your willing hands. I know you are just the church to do it. Our goal is to have her back in her home before the snow flies.

Darla's mother's name is Laraine. Her kids are Kayla (25), Ashley (18), A.J. (16), and Brayden (4). Their home is located at 823 12th Street NE. It's just off of "H" Ave, near Interstate 3-80. See the work schedule on the right side of the blog to see where you can help out!
