Help Darius Emrith to get Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
The first target of $30,000.00 is the cost of initial chemo and radiation therapy for Darius. We are beyond grateful for your support and donations thus far.
All further donations are greatly appreciated and will go toward his further and incidental medical expense during this time of healing such as his blood tests, CT scans, dietary needs, further blood transfusions and cost of surgery after the tumor has shrunk to an operable size.
Please also note that Mr. Feroz Mohammed, whose name you will see in the heading of this campaign, is an integral part of the fundraising team for Darius. Mr. Mohammed has been assigned as the beneficiary for accounting purposes due to restrictions that Darius has as a Trinidadian citizen. Thus, Mr. Mohammed will be withdrawing and ensuring that ALL funds will go directly to Darius.
Testimonial by Gabrielle Le Gendre, Darius' best friend:
Background
Darius was diagnosed with early stage 3 colorectal cancer, 3 weeks ago. Darius was told on 8th September 2021 that he will have to undergo chemotherapy first for 6 months then radiation in the hope of shrinking the large malignant tumour. Following this, he will require major surgery to remove the tumour.
Darius is 29 years old. This news has changed the course of my best friend’s life. Darius has always been a man of extreme strength, both mentally and physically. As well as being very stubborn. He is determined to fight this cancer and return to his life before his 30th birthday on August 8th , 2022.
Darius is so grateful to have such a necessary and loving support network to see him through this fight. Our family and friends are with him every step of the way. We all believe that he will fight this cancer and will continue to be a joy and light in all of our lives. We really don’t know what we would do without him.
A little about Darius:
Darius has an indomitable spirit and a truly compassionate soul. He is sensitive, thoughtful and humourous, and one of those people that you can’t help but love. Darius has always been a very passionate and driven individual, and has given a lot to others and the community. Darius is an accomplished, practising attorney-at-law for the past five (5) years who takes pride in his quest to help those around him. As a young man who cares deeply, he hopes to live a long, full life to continue being a helping hand and a loving soul.
It is this future that Darius is determined to hold on to.
It is this future that makes Darius determined to fight.
He is the best son to his father, Wayne and mother, Lynn. He is the most thoughtful and caring brother to his little sister, Chloe. A sweet and protective cat-dad to his fur babies, Ollie and Kiki. And he has truly been the epitome of what a best friend should be, to me. Darius’s cancer diagnosis has devastated us all, but we are so proud of his strength on this journey so far. In the midst of the feelings of sadness and confusion, his words of “I am going to fight this. I am going to be positive and fight this,” gives us all the strength, to remain positive and hopeful.
Please help us raise money for this beautiful person. We will be so grateful for anything you can give, no matter how small. We would also be grateful if you can share this post, to help us reach as many people as possible.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read and share this story. And for supporting our Darius.
