Story

We have found an incredibly desperate Father and his children who are in extreme need of assistance and medical care. Without treatment, Alfred will die, leaving behind four young orphans. Alfred is an incredible father and we are fighting for this family to keep their Dad and stay together. Can you help? 

Since our initial appeal, we were able to raise over £1400 to begin the process of his detailed diagnosis and treatment. However, the biopsy results and treatment course have not been as expected. It was initially thought that he had extreme infections in his left leg; which were a result of elephantiasis, tungiasis and several other severe blood infections. We now know that in addition to this, Alfred has stage four cancer and is in need of urgent amputation and chemotherapy to survive. We now need to raise funds for the additional treatment and care that will be needed for Alfred and his children during this process. Alfred has no income and has been totally abandoned by his wife. With so little money for food, there is no way that Alfred can afford any medical treatment.

The total amount needed for his treatment and aftercare of his family is £4360.00. We are also going to build Alfred’s family a new home, to secure their land and family inheritance for the future. We have raised the majority of this amount and need an additional £250 to enable his home to be built. 

Our hope is that, with your help, Alfred’s treatment will be successful, his life will be saved, and he will be able to work, care for his children long term. The provision of a new home will also mean the whole family have a secure financial future ahead of them. 

Can you help? Everyone can make a difference! Can you share this post or make a donation? Help us save a family today!

*Please note: All money raised will be designated for the assistance of Alfred and his children, in whichever way is most appropriate based on medical advice and how the treatment course develops.*
