South Africa (21 May 2025) \u2014 <\/em>Four-year-old Kgosi has spent most of his young life battling cancer.<\/p>\n Diagnosed shortly before his second birthday, Kgosi has spent more time in public healthcare facilities than most will in a lifetime.<\/p>\n Things were looking hopeful for the little boy, until earlier this year.<\/p>\n \u201cJust has his family was hoping to turn a corner, the cancer came back,\u201d shares Cupcakes of Hope, a non-profit, public benefit organisation supporting families of children with cancer in South Africa.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Kgosi\u2019s leukemia had come back, and the treatment options had winded down to a hard-to-access chemotherapy drug called Erwinase.<\/p>\n The problem with Erwinase is that it is not available to public hospitals, or covered by state healthcare. However, it is said to be Kgosi\u2019s best shot at survival.<\/p>\n Hoping to help, people have banded together with Cupcakes of Hope to raise over R50,000 to support his treatment through the drug (which costs a staggering R150,000 for the full course).<\/p>\n They are calling on the public to help give the four-year-old a fighting chance before the end of June.<\/p>\n In good news, the little fighter has already received his first batch of the meds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n A post shared by Cupcakes of Hope (@cupcakesofhope)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
