Aba's Story
When Aba, a 9-year-old girl from a small village in Ghana, was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma, her mother was devastated. The hospital where Aba needed treatment was miles away, and the cost of transport was overwhelming. Without any financial support, the family faced an impossible choice: find a way to pay for the journey or risk Aba’s health.
World Child Cancer was able to step in and provide crucial assistance and her family could focus on her treatment rather than the burdensome costs of travel and accommodation. Today, Aba is doing well, and because of the accommodation available at the hospital, she doesn’t have to make the exhausting journey each time she needs treatment.
Your donation can make a real difference in the lives of families like Aba’s. Just £43 can cover the cost of a return journey, ensuring a child gets the treatment they desperately need.
