Sharing & getting involved

Does sharing a fundraiser actually help?

Yes. Sharing costs nothing, and it puts Drake and Vivian's story in front of people who may give, pray, or connect the family with a major donor. In November 2026, one shared Facebook post brought in more than $20,000 in a week.

It can feel like a share is too small to matter. For Drake and Vivian, it has proven otherwise. In early November 2026, Upstate South Carolina weatherman Chris Justus wrote a Facebook post about the family and the upcoming trial. Within a week, that post brought in more than $20,000 and helped push the campaign to 84% funded.

That's how fundraising works for a rare disease. Most people have never heard of NKH. Every share introduces Drake and Vivian to a new circle of friends, and somewhere in that circle may be the person who gives, the business owner who matches, or the philanthropist who closes the gap. The family has said exactly that: every share puts their story in front of someone new who might help make a significant difference.

Sharing also brings prayer and encouragement. The family has read prayers from strangers aloud to Drake at bedtime.

Tarah has put it simply: help share, because it costs you nothing. If you can't give right now, you can still be part of getting Drake and Vivian to the trial. Get ready-made posts and graphics, or learn how to share the GoFundMe on Facebook.
