In the midst of social unrest and a global pandemic, one family managed to find their place and become the heartbeat of their corner of Lowry Hill.
The Harkin-Roberson family, consisting of Chad Harkin, Amber Roberson and their two children, Joe and Viola, moved to Minneapolis during the challenging times following the tragic murder of George Floyd. Despite the hurdles they faced, they quickly embraced their new surroundings and became an inspiration to those around them.
Settling near Thomas Lowry Park, the Harkin-Rober sons wasted no time in making a positive impact. The family became deeply involved in local initiatives, spreading love, unity and support. They volunteered at neighborhood clean-ups and actively participated in community events. Their unwavering commitment to making a difference turned their new home into a place of hope and solidarity.
They organized their final community crawfish dinner fundraiser to support their son, Joe, who is living with Prader-Willi Syndrome. This rare genetic disorder requires specialized care and resources, and the family rallied the community to come together for a cause close to their hearts. Neighbors showed up to support Joe and enjoy delicious food and southern hospitality.
As they set their sights on a new home in Dallas, Texas, the Harkin-Roberson family carries with them the love and support of an entire community. Their ability to connect people, inspire action and create a sense of belonging is a testament to the power of unity in times of adversity.
