We’re creating this GoFundMe for our dear friend Derek, because as many of you already know, he’s going through one of the most painful and heartbreaking experiences anyone could imagine. The worst kind of betrayal in a marriage has turned his world upside down, and we want to help him find his footing again.

Derek is one of the most genuine, caring people you’ll ever meet — someone who has always shown up for others without hesitation. Now, it’s our turn to show up for him.

We’re asking for help to ease some of the burden he’s facing as he works through the legal process of divorce and tries to rebuild his life. Donations will go toward lawyer fees, basic bills, and everyday essentials like food and living expenses while he gets through this incredibly tough time and starting the journey of a single dad.

This isn’t Derek asking for a handout. This is his friends, family, and community stepping forward to say, “You’re not alone.”

Anything you can give — whether it’s a donation, a kind message, or sharing this page — will mean more than you know. Thank you for showing Derek that love and loyalty still exist, even when the world feels like it’s falling apart. ❤️
