Demarius C Henderson was a bright, energetic 7-year-old who brought joy to everyone around him. He loved Sonic, enjoyed playing with other kids, and was always a little gentleman—opening doors for ladies and showing kindness wherever he went. Demarius was a wonderful son, and his absence has left a deep void in our lives. I miss him every day and love him more than words can say.

On Christmas Eve, our world changed forever when Demarius tragically drowned in a community pool in Lake Worth. Since that day, nothing has been the same. The pain of losing him is overwhelming, and it has been incredibly difficult for our family to cope with this tragedy. We are doing our best to support each other, but the emotional and financial challenges are more than we can handle alone.

I am reaching out for help to cover the costs of Demarius's funeral and to provide therapy for myself, his sister, and any other family members who need support during this heartbreaking time. If you are reading this, please keep us in your prayers. I have already spent time in a mental hospital trying to cope, and now I am faced with planning my son's funeral. Every bit of support and kindness from the community means the world to us. Thank you for considering helping our family as we try to heal and honor Demarius's memory.
