Help Desta Heal

Donation protected
Desta is NYC’s beloved sweetheart, known for lighting up every room he enters and creating beauty and connections wherever he goes. Unfortunately, he is now facing a challenging battle after recently being diagnosed with colon cancer.

This heartbreaking news arrived just as the company he worked for announced its permanent closure.

The intensity of his treatment will prevent him from seeking employment, making it essential for us to come together as a community to support him during this difficult time.

While insurance covers basic medical needs, several valuable holistic treatments and meal services that could aid in his healing are not included. Additionally, the high cost of living in New York City adds to the financial strain.

Although Desta has not asked for our support, we, his loyal friends, feel it’s our turn to give back to someone who has always been there for us. We kindly ask you to share this GoFundMe discreetly with those you believe would be interested in supporting this initiative. We wish to keep this effort private and respectful.

No contribution is too small, and every bit helps in making Desta’s healing process as smooth as possible.

Thank you for your love, support, and for being a part of Desta’s journey.

Please note: you DO NOT have to tip and it can be set to ZERO - that is a GoFundMe tip they auto place.
