Since birth, Caleb has relied on life-saving blood transfusions every three weeks, having received 56 bags of blood to date.While these transfusions are critical for Caleb’s survival, they have caused severe damage to his major organs due to the accumulation of iron in his body. The only curative treatment available is a bone marrow transplant. Despite undergoing two surgeries and numerous medical treatments, Caleb now requires another surgery that his family cannot afford on their own.“We have exhausted our resources on his medical treatments so far. We are in desperate need of public help to afford the next surgery that could save Caleb’s life,” Utomi Joy begged.“My son should have had the transplant in 2023, but we lack the money to afford the surgery“Nnaetochukwu is currently at home, but we take him to the hospital every three weeks for transfusions.“We recently retired from the hospital after he had received two rounds of transfusions on Monday, 1st of July, 2024.“Nnaetochukwu needs a bone marrow transplant that would cost N25 million if he is getting tissue directly from family members or N29 million if he is getting it from a donor.“His siblings are still small, so they cannot donate.
