Troy is 36. He has just been diagnosed with leukemia, the same blood cancer that took his father. And he has a 2-year-old daughter named Knovalie.

Troy Phillip is a plumber from Grenada, a son, a neighbor, and a man who has spent eleven years working with his hands and building a reputation as someone reliable, warm, and deeply loved by his community in Beauregard.

Ask anyone who knows him and they'll tell you the same thing, Troy is one of those rare people who makes everywhere he goes a little warmer.

But right now, Troy is fighting for his life.

History repeating itself, in the cruelest way

When Troy was 15 years old, his father Lincoln "Purtay" Farray died of blood cancer at just 35. Lincoln left behind his children, including a baby girl who was only 2 years old when she lost her dad.

The parallel is heartbreaking and it is not lost on anyone who loves him. Troy cannot repeat his father's fate. Knovalie cannot grow up without her dad.

The treatment that can save him

Troy's only path to survival is a haploidentical bone marrow transplant, a specialised stem cell transplant that is not available in Grenada.

After extensive consultation, his medical team directed him to Clínica Imbanaco in Cali, Colombia, one of Latin America's leading internationally accredited hospitals, where this procedure can be performed.

Troy is already in Colombia. He made the journey with his mother, a woman who has never owned a debit card, who doesn't speak Spanish, who watched her son slowly fading and decided she would follow him to the end of the earth.

A family member traveled with them to help with logistics and has been by their side throughout. They are there right now, waiting on the hospital, as Troy's pain medication runs out and time moves faster than the help around them.

The full cost of the transplant and comprehensive treatment is $150,000 USD.

What we need from you

If 3,000 people give $50, Troy gets his transplant. If you can give more, every dollar counts. If you can't give, please share this page. Share it on WhatsApp, on Instagram, on Facebook, with your church group, your coworkers, your family. Troy's story, once heard, has a way of moving people.

Everything is being done. Breakfast sales, donation boxes, letters written to anyone who might listen. Troy's community has shown up. But this number requires reach beyond what any one community can provide on its own.

He is a good man. He is someone's son. He is Knovalie's father. And when he beats this, he dreams of starting his own plumbing company, building something of his own, for himself and for her.

Help us bring him home.
