Faith was 25 and planning her future. Then leukemia changed everything. Help her keep fighting.

After two and a half years of chemotherapy, immunotherapy and a stem cell transplant, Faith’s cancer has returned. Her doctors recommend a second transplant — and the funding for it was denied.

Faith is 25 years old and has been fighting Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) for the past two and a half years. A few years ago she was a healthy young woman making plans for her future — seeing friends and family, looking forward to the ordinary milestones that come with being 25.

She has already endured years of treatment

Since her diagnosis, Faith has been through chemotherapy, immunotherapy and a stem cell transplant. She has spent countless days in hospital and faced infections, isolation, exhaustion and repeated setbacks.

While other people her age were building careers, travelling and making plans, Faith was fighting simply to stay alive. And after everything she had already been through, she received the news she feared most: her cancer had returned.

What Faith needs now

Faith was recently admitted back into hospital following another relapse. Her doctors are exploring a second stem cell transplant — the treatment they believe offers her the best opportunity to keep fighting the disease.

Right now, Faith needs help accessing that treatment and the care required for the next stage of her fight. Every donation can help toward her treatment and the essential support she needs while continuing her fight against leukemia.

Why the cost became the hardest part

When her doctors began exploring a second stem cell transplant, it brought Faith and her family something they desperately needed: hope. That hope quickly became uncertain.

Despite her medical team recommending the treatment, funding for a second transplant was denied because Faith’s situation is considered extremely rare. After years of fighting cancer, she is now fighting to access the treatment her doctors believe could give her another chance.

Treatment does not wait for funding to arrive. That is why this appeal exists.

What the $100,000 goal covers

The campaign goal is $100,000. Donations go toward the treatment Faith needs next, the hospital-related costs that come with it, and the practical support she needs while her care continues.

The figure is an estimate of what this next stage of treatment and care is expected to cost. No single person has to carry it. A large number of people giving what they comfortably can is what moves Faith closer to the treatment she needs.

What your support is meant to make possible

The doctors treating Faith set out what this next stage requires:

Access to a second stem cell transplant

The treatment her medical team recommends, and that funding was denied for.

Hospital-related costs

The admissions, the travel and the long stretches of care that come with treating AML.

Practical support during care

The everyday costs that do not stop while Faith is in hospital.

Raised so far$48,500

Total campaign goal$100,000

This is the estimate as of October 7, 2026. If the treatment plan changes, this page changes.

No one has to cover this alone

Faith has already lost years of her twenties to cancer. She wants the opportunity to make plans again, to spend time with the people she loves, and to reach the milestones that illness has repeatedly placed on hold. Most of all, she wants the opportunity to keep fighting for her life.

If you can help, please consider making a donation. And if donating is not possible, sharing Faith’s story can help it reach someone who can.
