Help Support Dario and His Family

Dario was a much-loved and valued member of the Franklin Smith team who recently suffered a serious medical emergency after collapsing while at work. We are incredibly saddened to share that Dario has since peacefully passed away.

Dario’s loss is deeply felt by everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. He was a special part of our team, and our thoughts are with his wife, Felilia, his family in the Philippines, his friends, colleagues, and everyone who cared for him.

This Givealittle page was originally set up to support Dario and his family during his time in hospital, including helping his loved ones travel to New Zealand to be close to him.

Following Dario’s passing, all funds raised will go directly to Dario’s wife, Felilia, to provide support through the incredibly difficult time ahead.

We have been incredibly touched by the kindness and generosity already shown to Dario and his family. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Dario and his family and for continuing to surround them with care during such a heartbreaking time.
