Help Dimitris Beat Leukemia -- Bone Marrow Transplant

Donation protected
Dimitris Bishop is a sweet ten-year-old boy born in Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. He is the grandson of Gillian Peters, a beloved professional employee for over 9 years, and son of Melissa and Dale Bishop.

On May 18th, 2024, Dimitris was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a very aggressive kind of Cancer. We need your help to cover the bone marrow transplant that he needs. His family will be forever grateful for any dollar raised to help save his life!

Dimitris is a typical ten-year-old who loves the color pink, with pink sneakers and a Xbox controller. He loves Jellie and Mr. Beast and devours all thing YouTube and wishes to be a YouTuber himself molding young minds, making people laugh and making money from doing the thing he loves. Please help realize his dream.

It was revealed that because of his DNA, there a predisposition that chemo treatment would only guarantee a 33% chance of remission, in contrast to the bone marrow transplant which could result in an 85% chance.

As he is not a permanent resident in the USA, the family does not have access to government support (Medicare) insurance. The health insurance the family has so far covered his treatment but does not cover the bone marrow transplant which is extremely expensive.

We are asking for your help! We acknowledge that we are asking for a lot but every little helps and hopefully with your help we can make a substantial contribution to this cause. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. We believe communities are stronger when they come together and that we can make a difference in one child’s life.

Every dollar increases Dimitri’s chance of survival!
