4-Year-Old Mukelo Urgently Needs a Stem Cell Donor to Survive

Mukelo Needs To Find A Life-Saving Stem Cell Donor

Mukelo is just four years old and is battling an aggressive form of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). His in an urgent need of a matching stem cell donor for him to get a second chance at life.

His mother, Gugu said “Every day, my baby faces treatments, he misses the opportunity to go to school, can’t play freely with friends, and bravely endures painful procedures, this makes me so sad,”

Despite everything, Mukelo still finds joy in small things: playing games on his phone. Sharing the toll of this journey, Gugu said: “Every day in the hospital is a struggle. I am scared and exhausted, but I keep going for him. He deserves a chance to live and be a normal child."

Sadly, none of Mukelo’s family are a match. His only hope is a stranger. That stranger could be you.

If you are between 17 - 55 and in good health, you can make a difference today. Register and help give patients a second chance at life.

Remember, all costs related to the donation process are taken care of by DKMS Africa.
