Help Nicole get a liver transplant

Dear friends,

Meet Nicole Nabbumba Sengendo, a nearly two-year-old beacon of light from Uganda, adored and cherished by her loving parents, Nelson and Juliana Sengendo.

Nicole was born with Billiary atresia (obstructive jaundice) and had to undergo a surgical procedure (kasai procedure) at just 8 weeks old. However, her liver function test results have not improved and she is still jaundiced, hence the doctors have concluded that a liver transplant will save her life.

Nicole, with her radiant smile and boundless joy, has the extraordinary ability to brighten the lives of everyone she encounters. Despite the innocence, this vibrant young soul, who should be exploring the wonders of the world with wide-eyed curiosity, is instead navigating the complexities of a condition that threatens her very essence. Her condition is not just a medical challenge; it's a race against time, where each day without treatment dims the hope for a healthy future.

The courage and resilience shown by Nicole and her family have been nothing short of inspirational. Yet, the path to her recovery is fraught with obstacles, primarily the significant financial burden of the medical care she urgently requires.

This is a call to hearts and hands far and wide, an appeal for your generosity and support. Your donation has the power to alter the course of Nicole's life. It is not merely a contribution but a lifeline that could afford Nicole the chance at a normal, healthy life — a chance to play, laugh, and grow, free from the shadow of illness. Let's come together to offer Nicole the greatest gift of all: hope for a brighter tomorrow. Your support can light up Nicole's path to recovery, ensuring that her journey ahead is filled with the promise of health, happiness, and the endless joy she brings to the world.”

Please note:

This will be a live donor transplant and Nicole's Mother is the identified donor.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Ilona (on behalf of my friends Nelson and Juliana Sengendo, Nicole's parents)
