Help Save Nkanyezi

Nkanyezi Needs Your Help to Keep Fighting

At just 10 years old, diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia, Nkanyezi’s only hope for a second chance at life is finding a matching blood stem cell donor. Share his story and encourage your family and friends to register to give him a second chance at life.

What started as a persistent cough led to a heart-breaking series of events. After being told he didn’t have enough blood in his body, Nkanyezi underwent six months of TB treatment. When his health didn’t improve, further tests revealed the devastating truth. Yet, Nkanyezi’s resilience shines through as he attends school whenever his health allows. He dreams of living a normal life, just like other kids his age.

"I thought my son was recovering, only to hear he was suffering from a deadly disease," says his mother. Despite her heartache, she remains hopeful, even as Nkanyezi asks why he’s always sick.

Nkanyezi’s mother hopes her son will receive a matching blood stem cell donor so he can live a normal life like other kids his age.

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