Raje's Stem Cell Implant Surgery

Raje who is 12 years old and lives in Jamaica has been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Raje is in desperate need to receive a stem cell transplant (SCT).  It has been determined that Raje is a good candidate to undergo autologous stem cell transplant where the patient’s own stem cells are used the fight the cancer.  Raje has been receiving a high dose chemo to prepare his body to receive his own stem cells back to him.  Raje will be receiving his treatment at the University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center.  The cost of the treatment is very expensive, and we will also be assisting Raje and his mother Vanessa, with travel costs, food and lodging.  Please help us give Raje a fighting chance to combat and cure his cancer.
