In a neighborhood once filled with laughter and joy, 12-year-old Aminata Sesay stands at a heartbreaking crossroads. A bright student at the United Methodist Girls’ School, her radiant smile has dimmed as she fights a relentless battle against cancer that threatens to take away her ability to walk.
“It all started nine months ago when we noticed swelling in Aminata’s leg. I thought it was just a minor issue. But after countless visits to local hospitals, we received the devastating diagnosis—cancer of the leg,” her mother recalls, her voice trembling with emotion.
Now, Aminata faces immense physical pain and emotional turmoil. A broken bone in her leg has restricted her movements to a painful limp, and she relies on a makeshift bandage for support. “Her condition has worsened so quickly. The doctors have made it clear: surgery is her only hope for recovery and a chance at a normal life.”
However, this crucial surgery comes with a staggering price tag—over $9,000 (Le200,000). For Aminata’s family, this amount feels insurmountable. Her mother, a food vendor, struggles daily to provide for her children, pouring every last Leone into their care. Despite her tireless efforts, the costs associated with surgery, recovery, and rehabilitation remain painfully out of reach.
“Time is running out for my daughter. Without immediate surgery, Aminata faces a life filled with permanent disability and unending pain. Her laughter, her dreams, and her independence are all on the line,” her mother said, tears in her eyes, pleading for help.
With desperation in their hearts, Aminata’s family is reaching out for assistance. They are calling on the kindness of strangers, hoping that together, we can raise the funds needed to save her leg—and her future.
