“Please support us through other means instead. We’ll be working our hardest to pay the bills over the years and we’re thankful for any work opportunities that come our way,” she declared
SINGAPORE: Local influencer Melissa Koh announced last April 7 that her second son, Asher Matthais Chen, had passed away. Asher was born with a congenital heart condition, and he needed open heart surgeries even at an early age.
She declared: “Please support us through other means instead. We’ll be working our hardest to pay the bills over the years and we’re thankful for any work opportunities that come our way.” Daryl said: “I feel it in my gut that it is the right thing to do. And if I receive backlash, so be it.” The fundraiser was able to gather more than S$18,000.
She stated in her IG: “We mentioned to him [Daryl] when he visited us at the wake that we were not keen to fundraise but he went ahead with it, out of the goodness of his heart, as he really felt like he couldn’t sit back and ‘do nothing’… If you had donated, thank you for your generosity. I would like to reassure you that the entire amount collected will be going to Asher’s hospitalisation bills, and not used for anything else.
