Help Siphiwe Fight Blood Cancer

Help Siphiwe Fight Blood Cancer

Siphiwe, a brave 4-year-old was diagnosed with Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome and he urgently needs a matching stem cell donor. That match could you. SHARE his story and get your friends to register as a stem cell donor to give him a fighting chance.

The young warriors journey started when he was 4 months old when he was diagnosed with anaemia. Now, at 4 years old, he endures severe nosebleeds that leave him pale and weak as he is constantly in and out of hospital, and his grandmother, who is his primary caregiver, has learned to recognize the early signs when he's unwell, as his condition can worsen without warning.

His mother now faces the difficult task of finding a suitable school for him next year, knowing that his frequent illness will make attending regular classes challenging. She has already had to withdraw him from crèche and arrange home care to meet his needs.

Despite her own health challenges, Siphiwe's mother draws hope and strength from the possibility of finding a stem cell donor for her son. You can help give Siphiwe a second chance at life. SHARE his story and encourage your friends to register as stem cell donors

"I appeal to potential donors, not just for my son, but to help other children in need as well," she says.

You can help give Siphiwe a second chance at life. SHARE his story and encourage your friends to register as stem cell donors.

Your registration could make a difference, all expenses covered by DKMS Africa.
