## Resource

A heartbreaking crash in Deerfield Beach took the life of four-year-old Christine Varela, while an 18-year-old motorcyclist also died. Four other family members, including two young cousins in critical condition, are recovering in the hospital. Christine’s brother Jake honored her joyful spirit at a vigil, recalling how she lived to make others laugh. Her father heroically pulled family members to safety during the crash. The family now faces mounting medical bills and funeral costs, while they rally around their critically injured cousins. Jake urges the community to celebrate Christine’s light, not just her loss.
