Our dear friend Derek De Rieux is fighting advanced liver disease and needs the support of his community. Because of his declining health, he has had to close his successful flooring business and is no longer able to drive. As Derek focuses on treatment and recovery, everyday living expenses continue to add up, and he is facing this challenge without the income he once relied on. Derek has always been the person who shows up for others. His generosity and kindness have touched so many people, and now it’s our turn to show up for him.

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help cover Derek’s basic needs during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference and help provide Derek with some stability and comfort as he faces this fight with strength and courage. If you’re unable to give financially, simply sharing this post can help us reach more people and expand the circle of support. Thank you for your support, prayers, and encouragement as Derek navigates this challenging journey. Your kindness means the world to him and to all of us who care about him.
