Life in community means carrying one another’s burdens, rejoicing together in times of joy and standing shoulder to shoulder in times of trial. Today, we invite you to come alongside one of our own.

Our dear sister Tarra Parks, a devoted wife and mother, is prayerfully navigating a serious medical setback. Her husband Will Parks has shared a heartfelt update on their journey — a glimpse into both the challenges they are facing and the ways we as a community can lift them up.

We encourage you to read Will’s message posted below, and pray for their family. Please consider how you might join us in supporting them during this season.

A Message from Will Parks

We don’t love to mix business with personal personal matters, but today we’re humbly asking for your prayers, your support, and your grace.

Recently, Tarra received news that doctors suspect a malignant tumor. As you can imagine, it’s been a whirlwind of emotion and uncertainty. We’re choosing to move forward with faith and pursue an intensive natural healing program to give her the best chance at full restoration and healing. It’s a path aligned with everything we believe in—but it comes at a high financial cost.

A GoFundMe has been set up on our behalf, to help cover the expenses of this life-saving journey. It’s not easy for us to ask, especially from a community that has already given us so much love and support through our business. But we know that healing is not something we’re meant to walk through alone.

We believe in the power of prayer and community. One of the many blessings of owning a small business is the ability to connect and build relationships with our customers. If you’ve had the chance to connect with Tarra, first, let me say, you’ve filled her bucket. She is a relational person through and through. She loves the opportunity to bless others and be an encouragement. She loves to share the knowledge and wisdom she’s received through much prayer and seeking. I know words of encouragement would really bless her right now. We are humbled just to know that you’ve taken the time to read this.

If you feel led to give, pray, or simply share this with someone who might be moved to help, we are deeply grateful. Your generosity—no matter the form—is a reminder that we are surrounded by kindness. Thank you for walking with us in faith and hope.

Will Parks

As a community, we believe no one should walk through challenging times alone. Your prayers, words of encouragement, and acts of generosity can make a real difference for Tarra, Will, and their children in the days ahead.
