Help Lester Fight Fanconi Anemia
Donation protected
My nephew Lester loves to play like other kids. He is a happy boy who seemed to have a bright life ahead, or so we hoped. Back in December, he got a very high fever and was rushed to the hospital. What seemed like a normal viral infection turned out to be the worst diagnosis for the entire family. He always looked healthy and no one suspected anything before then.
Fanconi Anemia is a rare, inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by bone marrow failure, physical abnormalities, and an increased risk of certain cancers, caused by mutations in genes involved in DNA repair.
Lester needs a bone marrow transplant and has been referred for treatment in India. The family needs USD 50,000 to cover treatment and their stay in India. Any help to support Patrick and Joy (Lester's parents) will be highly appreciated.
Help give Lester a fighting chance.
