Sheldon Pierre Memorial Fund
Donation protected
Sheldon Gerard Pierre, lovingly known as "Gee", was born August 18, 1974. Sheldon passed away from his long battle with Multiple Myeloma on January 19th, 2015, at the age of 40.
Originally from the island of Trinidad, Sheldon has always had a global spirit, leading him to live, work and further his education in New Brunswick, Canada, London, UK and Miami, USA.
At just 37, Sheldon was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Multiple Myeloma, an incurable but treatable cancer of the bone marrow. His treatment consisted of 2 autologous bone marrow transplants, numerous chemotherapy sessions and a month of direct facial radiation in the past year and a half. While visiting the US for Christmas, the cancer returned very suddenly, causing him to be admitted to Jackson Memorial, the only place where he was able to receive treatment. He was fighting for his life for a couple of weeks. During that most recent stint in the hospital, Sheldon incurred new medical bills, in addition to his previous balances. Sheldon passed away on January 19th after his 3 year battle with Multiple Myeloma.
His family and friends are attempting to assist in raising funds to pay for his emergency medical treatment as well as funeral expenses, and we hope that through your generosity, we can make this possible. It is important to note that Sheldon's medical bills are all out of pocket.
Sheldon's light and spirit will never fade. He has served as an inspiration to so many of us through his battle with cancer. His strength and endurance was amazing and he will continue on his legacy with the big man upstairs.
Please support Sheldon's medical and funeral expenses by donating. No amount is too little and will go a long way!
