Story
My 10 year old nephew Youzhen Xu who is living in China has been ill and treated in hospital since 17/12/2017. On 9/02/2018 the doctor told us devastating news, he was diagnosed with cancer. He has 3 large tumours in his abdomen called neuroblastoma and he is at stage 4 which is very advanced. The tumour cells have spread to his spine. The only chance for him is chemotherapy and an operation to remove the tumours as soon as possible to save his life.
My brother has spent all his savings and borrowed what he could to get his son to this point in the diagnosis but now there is a further £60,000 in treatment costs to be raised.
The doctors even suggested that perhaps they should plan to have another child! They understood this to be a veiled way of saying that they doubted they could ever afford to pay the fees. I cannot imagine how awful that must have felt for them. Rather than relinquishing hope and sitting idly by while watching their son slowly deteriorating they reached out to me for help. Youzhen is an innocent child and fully dependent on his parents, he doesn't know how serious his condition is and is still smiling. No parent can give up on their child especially when they are most vulnerable and most in need of their help. This is the motivation that led me to starting this fundraising page.
My brother and his wife are farmers who have lived in rural China all of their lives. Youzhen is only a ten year old should be looking forward to a whole life ahead of him. He should be at school with his friends not in hospital fighting for his life. Your donation could make all the difference for him and his family by helping to pay toward his life saving operation.
Any amount you pledge no matter how small will help us to raise this large sum and will be very gratefully received. I will keep this fundraising page updated with news of the progress of his treatment.
Please help us beat the cancer and give Youzhen the life he deserves.

6 years agoFriends, thanks to you all for your kindness and generous help, my nephew has had a few chemotherapy unfortunately the tumours are still not getting any smaller, so the doctors decide to do the operation before the end of May. for the last 5 months,my brother and sister-law sold any thing valuable they had and borrowed money to treat my nephew, it. was great support from the donations for them to carry on . nephew can't sit for long because 3 of the big tumours inside his stomach, so most of the time., he has to lay down,so sorry for him.
