"I want to be a doctor so I can treat sick people like me." — Kocho had a dream.
Dear Michelel T,
Earlier this year, we shared the story of a young boy named Kocho from
Sudan who was suffering from terminal cancer. Today, we learned the sad
news that Kocho passed away.
"Kocho
was brave and happy to the end. He finally decided that he had
had enough and did not want any more chemo. To the end, he would rally
and wanted to play. He was such a sweet child."
—Dr. Clarke, Mother of Mercy Hospital, Sudan
Kocho
spent over a year living at the Mother of Mercy Hospital
receiving chemo treatment. Here he is with some of the friends he made
along the way.
In
the remote, impoverished communities where we work, obstacles in
reaching clinics, limited diagnostics, and a lack of access to
specialized care and treatment mean that cancer is almost always a death
sentence. Your generosity can help change this.
Every child deserves a chance to fight cancer. Your support can help make this possible.
