Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin Help the Darnell Family
By True Blood News on Oct 6 2010 | 11 Comments »We would like to bring your attention to a sad and heart-wrenching story regarding the Darnell family. Their father, 47-year-old Kirk Darnell, died suddenly of a heart attack exactly eight months ago. Recently, on August 30th, their mother, 43-year-old Missy Darnell and Genevieve Darnell their 10-year-old sibling, were struck and killed by a car while walking to a local convenience store.
In 8 short months, this tragedy has left the 4 remaining children without parents and mourning the loss of a sibling. Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin, who are deeply saddened by this tragic event, are supporting this cause and have asked us to reach out and help in anyway we can.
Friends of the family will be holding a fundraiser on October 10th. Please join us for a worthy cause …

No amount is to small.
oh this poor family, I wish them the very best. How great that anna and stephen have decided to help.
Wow… when I read that story and then I realize just how spoiled I’ve become bitching about sitting in traffic or some other minor inconvience Awesome cause and Steve and Anna are gracious enough to lend a hand.. as we all should.
they are the best :) and what a sad and terrable story…and the children are so lucky that they have friends and other family who are there for them in this aweful time. I can`t even imagine what the children are going thrue. I think it is a wonderful thing what Anna and Stephen are doing for them.
I wish someone would have done the same thing for my grandmother when she lost 2 children and a husband in under one and a half year, and she was alone with 4 children from the age of 6 monts, almoust 2 years, 5 years and 7 years, and the two young ones where suffering from Tuberculosis.
I will donate. My heart and prayers go out to these lovely children. Thanks for letting us know.
