I’m a final-year medical student from Dublin, Ireland, currently undertaking my clinical elective in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. I’m honoured to be rotating with the Paediatric Oncology team here, where I’ve witnessed both the incredible resilience of young patients and the challenges they face in accessing timely cancer care.
This experience has deeply moved me. Many of these children are unable to begin life-saving treatment—like chemotherapy—simply because they can’t afford essential diagnostic scans. Early access to these scans can make all the difference.
That’s why I’m doing this. I’ve started this fundraiser to support these children and their families in getting the scans and treatment they urgently need. Every donation—no matter how small—brings us one step closer to giving these kids a fighting chance.
Thank you for your kindness and support.
God bless you.
