Siphesihle Needs You

13-year-old Siphesihle from Chatsworth was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and urgently needs a stem cell donor to continue living a healthy life. You could be his perfect match. Register to help Siphesihle get a second chance at life.

Siphesihle's mother first noticed that her son developed a persistent flu, which was soon followed by excessive vomiting. Shortly after a check-up at their local clinic in May this year, Siphesihle’s condition seemingly worsened. When he experienced increasingly sore and sensitive limbs, rendering him unable to sit or concentrate in school, his mom had to take him out of his grade 7 class.

After Siphesihle’s blood pressure was found to be unusually low, he was referred to Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital, where he received his Acute Myeloid Leukaemia diagnosis.

Siphesihle is a bright, shy, kind, and quiet child who absolutely loves playing soccer with his friends. Due to his illness, he currently cannot enjoy his favourite pastime as he has spent most of his time being treated in the hospital.

“I just want to see my son grow into the young man I see him becoming, regaining his strength and doing good for himself,” shared Silindile, Siphesihle’s mother.

You could be the missing link to Siphesihle’s future.

Remember, all costs related to the donation process are taken care of by DKMS Africa. You will not be asked to pay for anything.
