Aaron is fighting kidney cancer: lack of $15 for transport prevented him from receiving early treatment

January 4, 2020  |   Filed under: Blog  |   Posted by:

Aaron was diagnosed with cancer at a regional hospital in September but the mother couldn’t find $15 for transport to get to the Cancer Institute in Kampala and now both kidneys are affected. It’s a tragedy!

We got Aaron to Kampala last week and he has started treatment. His life is in God’s hands; cancer has spread too much.

It’s so sad that $15 could stand in the way of saving a life 😢. This shouldn’t happen to any child. The mother doesn’t speak English or Luganda; so she had to travel with an interpreter to Kampala.

To make matters, Aaron’s older sibling suffers from cerebral palsy. Please keep them in your prayers.

Aaron needed urgent help to get a CT scan, echo, chest & abdominal X-rays. Thanks to generous friends who have responded to Aaron’s appeal and the tests have been done.
