Rare disease hobbles happiness of young Sandiswa, 8 IOSNewsSA

Durban - Born in uMlazi, Sandiswa was diagnosed a year ago with Fanconi anaemia. She desperately needs a blood stem cell transplant. With assistance from the Sunflower Fund, a targeted public donor recruitment drive will be held at uMlazi Mega City from 10am to 4pm today in the hope of finding a donor match.

“She loves cartoons, Uzalo and Generations - every soap. She’s a TV person. Besides that, she likes to play games on a cellphone and her favourite food is noodles. She can have that all the time. She’s just so full of love,” said Njilo. Said Njilo: “She can’t be around other kids at school because her immune system is so weak that she would pick up flu or whatever else someone had.”
