Trashaun's Legacy Calls for National Fund | Barbados News

Trashaun Atwell’s tragic death after a two-year battle with leukemia has ignited a national call for action: a dedicated fund to ensure no child’s life is lost because their family can’t afford lifesaving care.

Trashaun’s story isn’t just about one family — it’s about demanding that every child’s survival be guaranteed, regardless of income or viral reach.
