Darren is silly but thoughtful, wild but polite. He’s the perfect mix of energy and heart. The kind of kid who hugs you just because, says thank you without being told, and finds joy in simple things.
What are Darren Preval's favorite activities?Darren’s favorite things include playing with cars, swimming, and soccer. But what really makes him shine is his silly dancing! Whenever he’s happy or excited, he starts dancing with the funniest, goofiest moves that make everyone laugh. His energy and joy are contagious and brighten every room.
How would $25,000 impact your family?We’ve made the most of living in Newark, NJ, but it’s not safe, and it’s not where I want Darren to grow up. I’ve been a single mom since day one, doing everything I can to give him the life he deserves. I’ve tried to move us to a better town, but it hasn’t been easy. $25,000 would finally give us the chance to start over in a safer home, in a better school district, where Darren can truly thrive.
