The Trump White House recently expressed support for Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, a young boy facing a tough battle with cancer. DJ has been in the public eye since he was honored by President Trump during a joint address to Congress in March. He was diagnosed with brain cancer at just six years old and has undergone over a dozen surgeries. In a special moment, he was made an honorary Secret Service agent, a gesture that won the hearts of many.
DJ’s father, Theodis Daniel, shared the heartbreaking news that doctors have found three new tumors in his son. In an emotional statement, he described the struggle of dealing with such news, saying, “It’s rough. There isn’t a class that can teach you how to deal with it.” The family is taking things one day at a time as they face this new challenge.
In response, the White House posted on social media, lifting DJ up in prayer and sharing photos of him with President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. They praised DJ as one of the strongest and bravest young men, noting that he has been sworn into 1,351 law enforcement agencies across the country. “Agent Daniel, you’re a true legend,” they wrote.
Theodis mentioned that they have tried experimental medicine for DJ, which has helped him maintain his happy and vibrant spirit. He also highlighted his son’s sense of humor, sharing that DJ often makes jokes, including a playful threat to anyone being mean to President Trump.
As DJ continues his fight, the support from the White House and the public serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience he embodies. The family remains hopeful and grateful for the love and prayers they have received during this difficult time.
