The Darwin “Darrell” Evariste Scholarship Legacy
Honoring a Life. Inspiring Education. Building a Legacy.
Created by Sonya Evariste in memory of her late husband, Darwin “Darrell” Evariste, this educational initiative seeks to provide hope, encouragement and educational support to young people who have experienced the loss of a parent.
His Legacy
The Darwin “Darrell” Evariste Scholarship Legacy was created by Sonya Evariste under Cherish Love Care to honor the memory and lasting legacy of her late husband.
More than a scholarship, this legacy represents love, resilience, opportunity, and the belief that a family’s love can continue to make a difference for generations to come.
Placeholder: content needed from Sonya — a personal reflection about Darrell; what he valued; what education meant to him; any family memories she chooses to share; why a scholarship is the chosen expression of his legacy; an optional short biography.
