Nathaniel Nabena

This is the story of the Nabena family. Nathanial is a nine year old boy who developed AML (an aggressive blood cancer) when visiting the UK. On the 2nd May 2021 the family and their supporters were featured on the front page of the Sunday People with the headline ten days to save his life. Since he is not covered by the NHS, funds are needed for a stem cell transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Doctors have agreed to treat him for free but there is still a £200,000 charge for hospital services and medications.His story by this point was already remarkable as, thanks in large part to the generosity of readers of the Mirror and Sunday People, he had already made a great initial response to chemotherapy which means he is an ideal candidate for a matched stem cell transplant from an unrelated umbilical chord donor. Sadly many children from a non white ethnic background will never find a match.Our prayers and donations can help make sure this little boy lives.
