What role does faith play for Drake and Vivian's family?

Tarah and Eric O'Sullivan are open about their Christian faith, and it shapes how they talk about Drake and Vivian, the foundation, and the trial. The Drake Rayden Foundation's mission is "to bring hope through the gospel, raise awareness and funds for better treatment for NKH, and care for special needs families."

You'll see their faith everywhere. Their rallying phrase is "He Is Enough," which also named their 2025 fundraising dinner. Their anchor verse is Galatians 6:9: "Let us not grow weary in doing good." And the gene therapy itself is named EmetAbba, which they translate as "Faithful Father," because they wanted it to bear God's name.

Their faith isn't a way of avoiding hard things. Tarah writes honestly about exhaustion, hospital nights, and fear, and then turns back to hope. After a season of especially hard nights in 2026, she wrote: "Yes Lord...we are weary....but not defeated. We will continue to follow where you lead."

You don't have to share their faith to help. People of all backgrounds have given, shared, and stood with this family. If you do pray, here's how to pray for Drake and Vivian. Churches can find ideas on our church page.
