In Memory of Daniel Udesh Persaud
Donation protected
It is with sadness that we share the passing of Daniel Udesh Persaud, unexpectedly on the morning of June 10th, 2022. Daniel was just 13 years old, when his life ended, with so much that he could never discover and experience life. He was loved dearly by his parents, siblings, family and friends.
With all of the emotional pain and stress that death brings, it also brings financial burdens. We have created this fundraiser to support and help Daniel's family with any costs they will incur.
In these times of loss and sadness, people come together to help one another make it through, to support the people we care for. Any support you may be able to provide would be greatly appreciated. Please keep Daniel's family in your thoughts and prayers.

From New York Post:
Samantha Singh — whose son Daniel Persaud drowned with friend Ryan Wong shortly before midday Friday while swimming in Queens — told The Post she wonders whether her boy’s death could have been averted had she been told earlier that he skipped school to go for a dip in the bay.
“He attends MS 137, and I have to say, they did not call me to let me know he was not in class until hours later,” said Singh, 43.

“They need to inform the parents right away, especially a middle school,” she said through tears. “We don’t receive a call until 7 p.m. So, if we could have received a call earlier, I have a track on his phone.”
Singh said that when the school finally did alert her to her son being missing, it told her he’d been gone since a little before 10 a.m.
“I have four kids,” she said. “In this day and age, you have to know where they are all the time. I thought he was in school. Just a couple of hours, I didn’t track him. At 10, 11 [a.m.], I need to know he’s not in school.

“The school where my two oldest daughters went, Richmond Hill, they would have called if any of my daughters left school,” she said. “Right away!
“The bus that took them [to the beach], the driver, why didn’t they notice little kids alone?” she added.
