Ms. Rachel has urged her fans to send prayers to fellow chidren’s entertainer Danny Go, whose 14-year-old son Isaac has died of cancer.
“Hi wonderful parent and caregiver community — Please send so much love and so many thoughts and prayers to Danny Go and his beautiful family,” Ms. Rachel, also known as Rachel Accurso, wrote. “Danny’s precious son passed away. We are so sorry for their loss and are thinking about their son’s amazing joy and their immense pride.”
Ms. Rachel also captioned the Instagram message by writing, “Let’s all turn on Danny Go today and send them so much love and so many prayers and wrap them up in support.”
Danny Go, also known as Daniel Coleman, revealed the news of Isaac’s May 21 passing on Instagram Friday morning.
“Oh my sweet boy. There’s so much I want to say, but I don’t know how yet,” he wrote. “I already miss you so much, and the pain in my heart is far more than I can process. But looking through thousands of pictures and videos this past week, I’m also filled with tremendous pride. Your 14 years were full of so many challenges, but you met them all with such grit…and you somehow kept your trademark joy in spite of it all. You truly had a spark like no other, Isaac! Remembering how loved you were and how full of life your time here was gives me great comfort. Being your dad was the honor of a lifetime. I’m so proud of you and I love you forever. Rest peacefully, son.”
In April, Danny Go gave an update on Instagram about moving Isaac into hospice care.
“Haven’t updated on Isaac’s cancer in a bit and it’s still difficult for me to process and talk about,” he wrote. “But the high-level update is that his cancer has continued to spread aggressively and his energy levels have dropped very low. We’re in the midst of a short palliative radiation round right now to slow down the growth of a large mass under his right eye, but we’ve shifted into a comfort-focused approach with him overall. He has a hospice team onboard now to help manage the pain and we are just doing our best to make each day as enjoyable and restful as possible for him. Mindy and I are heartbroken watching him decline, knowing how frustrating and scary this must be for him. But we’re trying to hold it all together and keep soaking up the time we still have with our boy.”
Coleman’s show “Danny Go!” has been gaining in popularity in the last few weeks, entering the Netflix Top 10 for children’s programming, often alongside the ultra-popular “Ms. Rachel.”
