Help save baby Phoebe beat Leukemia -Her only chance to live

Donation protected


Phoebe Gimelle, a calm, graceful, incredibly peaceful baby girl and an only child of her parents. At just 1 year and 7 months old, she should be giggling, playing, and discovering the world—but instead, she is in a battle for her life.

Phoebe has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML)—a rare and aggressive blood cancer. The doctors in Ghana have confirmed that the country lacks the facilities to treat her. Without urgent medical care, her life hangs in the balance.

India: Phoebe’s Only Hope!

Apollo Proton Cancer Center in Chennai, India, has accepted Phoebe’s case. She needs immediate treatment and a bone marrow transplant to survive. But time is running out.

Her parents have given everything they have to start her chemotherapy, but they can't afford the full cost of her life-saving treatment. Meanwhile, her tiny body is struggling—her fevers are uncontrollable, and complications are setting in.

We need to raise $78,620 to save Phoebe!

This GoFundMe is set up to cover:
✔ Medical Treatment & Bone Marrow Transplant
✔ Travel & Medical Stay in India

Phoebe must fly out NOW before it’s too late!

Every dollar you give is a chance for Phoebe to have a future—a chance for her to grow up, play, and live a normal life. No mother should have to watch her only child suffer or die when there is a cure.

Please donate today. Any amount, big or small, will make a difference.
Share Phoebe’s story and help spread this urgent appeal.
Keep Phoebe in your prayers.

Your kindness, generosity, and compassion could be the reason this beautiful baby gets a second chance at life. Thank you for standing with Phoebe!
