Why Your Gift Is Important
These patients, and many like them, need your support to access the treatment they desperately need.
You can change that today.
Your support is the difference between treatment that is almost within reach and treatment that is fully accessible.
Imagine being told there’s a treatment that could save your life, only to learn you can’t access it. For too many patients and their families, this is the heartbreaking reality.
Your gift changes that. Instead of settling for suboptimal care, patients can start, and finish, the life-saving treatment they need and deserve.
RayanR
Age 7 | Egypt | Nueroblastoma
Rayan loves going to school and playing football with his friends. But lately, his laughter has been replaced by hospital visits and painful treatments.
His father, who works tirelessly as a driver earning less than $200 a month, struggles to cover even daily needs. His mother stays home to care for him around the clock. Despite their love and strength, the cost of life-saving treatment is far beyond their reach.
Rayan’s cancer has stolen his childhood and threatens his future. With treatment, he has a real chance to grow up, return to school, and chase his dreams on the football field. Without it, his illness will continue to progress — and time is running out.
Nur Aisyah
Age 34 | Malaysia | Ovarian Cancer
At just 34, Aisyah was looking forward to starting a family and building a future filled with love and laughter. Her days were once spent in a lively classroom, inspiring her students, and caring for her elderly mother at home.
But everything changed when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The disease has left her weak, exhausted, and unable to continue teaching — the job she loved and the income her family depended on.
Her treatment offers hope — a chance to stop the cancer from returning and give her life back. But the costs are overwhelming, and her family is struggling to keep up.
Without this treatment, the cancer could return more aggressively, threatening not only her life but also her dream of one day becoming a mother.
Anaya
Age 13 | India | Relapsed Hodgkin Lymphoma
Anaya was first diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, and after months of painful treatment, her family believed the worst was behind them. But now, the cancer has returned — stronger and more aggressive.
Her parents, who worked tirelessly to save her once, have already spent everything they had. Their savings are gone, and debt weighs heavily on their shoulders. Still, they refuse to give up hope for their daughter’s recovery.
Anaya’s dreams of going back to school, of growing up to make a difference, of simply being a teenager again. But without advanced therapy, her illness will continue to spread — taking away her chance to live those dreams.
Mzee Daniel
Age 58 | Kenya | Severe Ulcerative Colitis
For decades, Mzee Daniel has run a humble roadside food stall in Kenya, serving tea and chapati to his neighbors. His hands, worn from years of honest work, have provided for his children and kept his small family going since the loss of his wife.
But now, severe ulcerative colitis has made even the simplest tasks unbearable. The constant pain, fatigue, and hospital visits leave him too weak to stand long hours at his stall. His income has nearly vanished, and the family is struggling to afford his medication and basic needs.
At an age when he should be slowing down and resting, Mzee Daniel is fighting just to survive.
