Nathaniel Kandhai

A baby’s life is on the line. Please don’t scroll past this! Be the reason he lives.

Nathaniel Kandhai is just a baby, and he has been diagnosed with Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, a rare and life-threatening condition that requires urgent chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant to survive. This treatment is not yet available in Guyana, which means that without immediate international medical care, Nathaniel will not survive.

But there is hope. A hospital has been identified, doctors are ready to accept him and begin treatment, and we are working feverishly to secure his transfer. This is real. His life can be saved.

What’s standing in the way is funding.

To get Nathaniel into treatment, we must urgently raise the funds needed to cover emergency international travel, medical coordination and transfer logistics, housing near the hospital for approximately one year, meals and basic living expenses for his family, and critical pre- and post-treatment care. Please help us raise $35,000 to give this child a real chance of survival.

This is the reality for families like Nathaniel’s, and they cannot do this alone.

What makes this even more heartbreaking is that this family has already endured unimaginable loss. Two years ago, many of you followed the story of Nathan Kandhai, who passed away from this same disease. Now Nathan’s baby brother, Nathaniel, is facing the same diagnosis.

We lost one child. We cannot lose another.

Every single day matters. Every delay increases the risk. This is the moment that will determine whether Nathaniel gets the chance to live. If you can help, please do so now. If you’re not able to give, please share his story, because it could reach the one person who can help. And if you or your organization can contribute in a more meaningful way, please reach out to us directly.

SHEA Charity is 100% volunteer-run, and every single dollar goes directly toward saving lives; no salaries, no overhead, just impact.

Every single day without treatment brings more risk.

Your kindness could be the reason Nathaniel gets a chance at life.
