Darrin May was the Warehouse Manager at Star Exhibits and Environments

On July 17th, 2024, Darrin was rushed to the hospital with what was initially thought to be a minor stomach issue. Within a short span of 24 hours, the May family received the devastating news that no family should ever have to hear: at just 39 years old, Darrin was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer. This diagnosis was especially shocking as Darrin had no prior symptoms and had always enjoyed robust health.

As the sole breadwinner for his family, Darrin’s sudden illness has placed an enormous strain on them. His wife, Jennifer, has been dedicated to raising their seven beautiful children, the youngest of whom is just 11 months old. With Darrin unable to work and the family’s financial situation already challenging, the added burden of medical expenses and loss of income has created an untenable situation.

No family should have to endure the dual hardship of a severe medical crisis and financial instability. Despite the severity of his illness, Darrin remains a pillar of strength for his family. However, the mounting medical bills and the need to support a large family have made their situation overwhelming.
