From the bottom of our hearts – thank you. Every donation, message, and share has carried us through these incredibly tough months, and we’re so grateful to share our first update on Sadie and Jesse’s journey with you.
This week, both kids received their second round of treatment, an important step in keeping them strong and stable as we prepare for the transplants ahead. The first treatment was an eight-hour IV infusion called Polygam, an immune-boosting therapy made from antibodies donated by healthy people. It helps strengthen Sadie and Jesse’s immune systems so their little bodies can fight off infections more effectively.
It was a long day filled with bravery and tears, but they made it through.
The new method, now delivered slowly through a small pump into the stomach, is a gentler process for them, though it still comes with nausea and shakes. They’re also on a combination of antiviral and antibiotic medications to help keep infections at bay and give them the best possible chance of staying strong.
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already raised R294,108 – every rand helping us get one step closer to the life-saving stem cell transplants they need. From the deepest corners of our hearts, thank you for standing with us.
Your kindness gives us hope, and strength.
Forever grateful, the Krause family
