The child who waits.

Please don't scroll past Shane's story.

Every day, Shane checks the number on this fundraiser, hoping it has gone up. Hoping you see him. Hoping for a chance to survive.

He first faced cancer at 9 years old, and after months of grueling treatment, it seemed he had beaten this awful disease. Then it came back in 2025.

Now he's 12, and a bone marrow transplant could save his life, but he can't get this treatment in Guyana.

We've raised ~US$2,500 of the US$30,000 (6 million GYD) needed. Help us move this needle. Time is against us. Show Shane that his community sees him and that we care. Donate TODAY!

You don't have to give a lot. $5 is a real contribution. $10 is real hope. And if you can't give, please share. Someone who sees it might be the one who changes everything for this quiet, loving child.

Help us show Shane that people are coming to his rescue. 👉 https://gofund.me/e5572cedf

Urgent Request for Help!

Shane is 12. He's fighting cancer for the second time. And in two weeks, he needs to be on a plane to India for lifesaving treatment.

Shane is a quiet child who enjoys playing soccer with his little sister and dreams of becoming a police officer to protect people. He's kind, caring, and humble. Now he's missing school, missing family time, missing being a kid. His days are consumed with scary treatments that are painful, exhausting, and nauseating.

All he wants is to be better and for treatment to end so he can go back to just being a carefree child.

The treatment that can save Shane’s life is not yet available in Guyana.

We're raising $30,000 USD (~$6,000,000 GYD) for his treatment, flights for Shane and his mother, housing, meals, and living costs in India.

Today we launch! We have two weeks and $30,000 USD (~$6,000,000 GYD) to go. Please be one of the first to give.

Every gift moves him closer to that plane. Even $10 counts.

Little Miss Out-and-About, Liana Prescod, is slowly but surely getting better day by day.

Just a few short months ago, Liana was clinging to life and needed to be medically evacuated from Guyana to the United States for lifesaving treatment. Today, she’s walking, smiling, exploring, and simply being the cheerful little girl she was meant to be.

To everyone who donated, shared her story, prayed, and helped us save this precious child, thank you. 🙏🏻 Look at her now!

Liana is still in treatment, but out of immediate danger, and continuing to make progress every day.

Update: Kaiden Williams

We wish we had better news to share about Kaiden today, but his journey continues to be a difficult one.

Since arriving in India, Kaiden has fought through intensive chemotherapy and multiple exploratory treatments as his doctors work to stop the growth of the tumor in his face. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the tumor has continued to grow.

Extensive testing and studies indicate that Kaiden has a rare form of sarcoma (cancer) that is extremely difficult to treat. His case is being managed through a multidisciplinary approach, with specialists from multiple institutions working collaboratively to explore every possible treatment option for him.

Because of the continued growth of the tumor and its location, surgery has not yet been possible.

Kaiden remains in guarded condition, and his situation is extremely serious. Yesterday, he was transferred to the intensive care unit to help monitor and manage respiratory distress while he is being prepped to begin a third round of chemotherapy this weekend.

Please keep Kaiden in your prayers. Please pray for strength for his little body, wisdom for his doctors, and for the miracle we are all desperately hoping for. 🙏🏽❤️

Five-year-old Kaiden has already lived through more heartbreak than most people experience in a lifetime. Last year, he lost his mother to cancer. Now, he is fighting cancer himself.

Update: Kaiden Williams

As I usually do, I checked in with Kaiden's dad (Kevin) today to see how they were doing.

He replied with just one sentence.

"I held my son while the doctors cut into his face to get to the tumor."

I sat there looking at those words unable to respond. There isn't really a response for something like that. I just kept thinking how much they have both endured already and how difficult it continues to be.

Today was a hard day for Kaiden.

Although he has completed his first round of chemotherapy since arriving in India, the tumor has continued to grow. It has now broken through the skin and tissue of his cheek. This morning his doctors had to perform another procedure to manage the growth and to give him some relief.

His biopsy has already been completed, but the medical team is still waiting for the results of additional advanced testing. Those results will help guide the next steps in his treatment. Until then, they're strategically moving forward with the current care plan. Two more rounds of chemotherapy are planned, and an oncologic surgeon is actively evaluating whether surgery should become part of his treatment.

Kevin shared something else with me that I haven't been able to shake.

He said, "Kaiden is so strong. He keeps fighting. But the pain...even with all the medication they give him, it's unbearable."

If you've been praying for this little boy, please don't stop.

Pray for wisdom for the doctors who are caring for him. Pray that the remaining test results provide the answers they're searching for. Pray that his pain eases. And please remember Kevin, who has been by his son's side through every difficult moment.

Thank you for continuing to stand with this family. Your kindness has carried them farther than you know.

Look who’s feeling better! ❤️

Update: Liana Prescod

Just a few weeks ago, Liana arrived in the United States via air ambulance in critical condition, fighting for her life.

Today, this beautiful little girl continues to make remarkable progress. ❤️

She still has a long road ahead, but every day she gets a little stronger. She remains under the close care of an incredible team of doctors who are watching over every step of her recovery.

While treating her external burn injuries, her doctors suspect that Liana may have also suffered injuries to her trachea. On July 30, she will undergo a comprehensive evaluation, including a scope of her airway, to determine whether surgery will be needed internally.

The road ahead is still uncertain, but one thing we know for sure is that she is in capable hands. She is expected to remain in treatment for at least another two months as her team continues to guide her recovery.

None of this would have been possible without your support.

Because of your generosity, Liana was able to reach the specialized care she so desperately needed. Now we’re asking you to stay with her a little longer. Her journey is far from over, and donations are still needed to help see her through treatment and recovery.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation. If you can’t donate today, sharing Liana’s story is one of the most powerful ways you can help. Every donation, every share, and every prayer reminds this family that they are not walking this road alone.

Thank you for standing with Liana through the hardest chapter of her young life. Your kindness has given her hope, healing, and a chance at the future every child deserves. ❤️

Update on Kaiden. ❤️

Just days ago, this little boy was in Guyana with a rapidly growing tumor that had become so aggressive it broke through his cheek and started growing in his mouth. Unfortunately, the advanced treatment needed is not yet available in Guyana, and time was running out for him. Thanks to your incredible kindness and generosity, Kaiden and his dad were able to quickly travel to India, where he finally has access to the specialized care he urgently needs.

They’ve settled in well, and Kaiden is now going through a comprehensive evaluation, including a biopsy, MRI, CT scan, blood work, and consultations with his medical team. Once all of the results are in, his doctors expect to begin treatment later this week. His treatment journey is expected to last approximately six months.

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared his story, and kept this family in your prayers. Because of you, Kaiden has hope.

Please continue to keep Kaiden and his dad in your thoughts and prayers as they begin this fight. We’ll continue to share updates along the way. ❤️🙏🏻

Update: Kaiden departed for India today!

When your mom is your guardian angel, no force on Earth could stand in your way.

I truly believe Kaiden’s late mother is guiding him through the fight of his life.

On Tuesday morning, our lead volunteer in Guyana, Sita Sugrim, called to let us know that someone had come to her office for a donation to help their son travel to India for cancer treatment. Since this is our wheelhouse, she asked a few questions before simply handing over the donation.

That’s when we learned that, the man, Kaiden’s father, Kevin, didn’t really have a plan. He knew he had to get his son to India to save his life and that’s all he was focused on. He had a quote and a sponsored oneway ticket, but he didn’t have treatment services arranged, the funds to pay for treatment, or a support system guiding or waiting for them in India.

Instead of sending him off with a donation and wishing him luck, Sita offered guidance.

As fate would have it, just two weeks earlier we had connected with the Former First Lady of Guyana, Varshni Singh (an angel in her own right), who has years of experience working with hospitals in India through her organization, Kids First Fund. We asked if she would reach out to her contacts in India to help Kaiden, and everything changed at lightning speed.

Before we knew it, Kaiden had the support of two powerhouse organizations: Kids First Fund and SHEA Charity!

Within 48 hours, his treatment was arranged, his transfer to India was coordinated, and the hospital agreed to reduce its fees so that he could receive the care he desperately needs.

Then the community did what it always does best: Two incredibly kind persons stepped forward to sponsor Kevin and Kaiden’s flights. Others donated suitcases and clothing , and monetary donations began pouring in for this precious little boy. One person after another showed up to make sure Kaiden has a fighting chance.

Sometimes, when all the pieces fall into place so perfectly, you can’t help but believe that someone (a force beyond this world) is opening doors that no one else can. And we truly believe that someone is Kaiden’s mom who lost her battle to cancer last year June.

Today, it is our absolute pleasure to share that Kaiden is on his way to India.

Please keep him and his father in your prayers. His journey is just beginning, but today he has something he truly deserves…Hope. ❤️

Thank you for being Kaiden’s hero!
