Sulaiman's Fight Against Leukemia
Donation protected
My name is Sulaiman Senesie. I am 30 years old, married and have 2 children (ages 3 and 22 months). I was born and raised in Sierra Leone, West Africa and immigrated to the United States in 2014.
Since arriving in the US, I have been working two jobs to provide for my Family. Many of you may know me from my job as Doorman/Security at Sunrise Tower from 2015 to 2017.
Things were going well until April 17, 2019 when I was diagnosed with ACUTE MYELOID LEUKEMIA (CANCER).
I was admitted for one month to NY Presbyterian Hospital and underwent chemotherapy treatment. I continued treatment for 6 weeks and was found to be in remission in June 2019. I was cleared to return to work to provide for my Family and to try to catch up on outstanding bills.
During remission, my Doctor was working on finding a Bone Marrow Donor for me and we discussed a transfer to Rochester, NY for treatment because Staten Island is too expensive for the Bone Marrow transplant.
On October 7, 2019, while I was planning the move to Rochester, the cancer came back worse then before and I was admitted into ICU for another 5 weeks of treatment.
On November 12, 2019, my Doctor gave me the great news that a Donor had been found for me! I could now have the transplant.
However, due to the NECESSARY Bone Marrow Transplant, I will be unable to work for 12 months.
I have asked God to give me the strength to let me allow people to help. Yes, I am asking for help; prayer and help offsetting the costs associated with my Diagnosis. This isn't the easiest thing to do, but I am out of options.
Anything you can donate will be used for medical and household expenses and to feed my children.
Thank you for your support. Please keep me in your prayers and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
