Nathaniel Nabena stem cell transplant now funded!
We did it! Nathaniel’s stem cell has today been fully funded. The GoFundMe page has hit over £200,000! It has been an amazing day of generosity.
Join the celebration as Adrian Warnock is joined by dad Ebisidor Rasaki Nabena and the family’s first supporter Sharyn MJ who is the driving force behind Nathaniel’s Angels and a publicity guru.
Thank you to every single one of you who have donated, liked and shared. Don’t stop now. We do need to make sure that there is a buffer (in case he needs more treatment than hoped) and I know the family is keen to be able to also bless others. We will keep following this story as we pray Nathaniel has a smooth journey through his Stem cell transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital.
Many Thanks to all of you and especially to the kindness of the people behind This Morning and the generosity of many of their viewers who have all together shown that we can make a difference in this world.

- 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. Blood Cancer Uncensored is proud to welcome this family as contributors to our site.
