When Therese, a 10-year-old from Cameroon, began feeling unwell, her family were desperate for answers. After weeks of worry, they reached Mbingo Baptist Hospital, where doctors gave them the devastating diagnosis of cancer.

For any family, this news is devastating. But in Cameroon, where the cost of treatment can be impossible to afford, it can feel like hope has been taken away.

Thanks to supporters like you, Therese’s family didn’t face this journey alone. Chemotherapy and food support were provided free of charge, giving Therese the treatment and strength she needed to begin her recovery. 

“I am very grateful to World Child Cancer for the medication and food support… I wonder if I would have survived this disease without this incredible help.” – Therese 

Today, Therese is healthy, active, and back in school. She’s looking forward to her future with new confidence. 

“To World Child Cancer and the nurses and doctors at Mbingo Baptist Hospital, I am immensely grateful for giving me back my life.” – Therese 

How You Can Help 

Behind every story like Therese’s are the nurses who make treatment possible. They are there for every appointment, every dose of chemotherapy, every anxious parent, and every child in need of comfort. 

But in Cameroon, there are far too few nurses trained in childhood cancer. Their dedication keeps children on treatment and gives families the strength to keep going. 

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, your gift of £56 (tripled to £168) could cover a nurse’s salary for one month. 

That’s one month of care, reassurance, and expertise that children like Therese depend on to survive. And one more chance for a family to share the same relief Therese’s family felt when her daughter was finally able to return to school.
