Girl 13, in battle against leukemia seeks financial help to save her life
(Kaieteur News) – Having already fought the disease once in her life, 13-year-old Davie Nirdhan, is battling leukemia a 2nd time. The teen is once again reaching out to her supporters seeking financial help for further specialized treatment.

According to a release from US-based Medical Charity, Saving Hands Emergency Aid (SHEA) just months ago, the young girl battled leukemia with strength far beyond her years, enduring endless rounds of chemotherapy, sleepless nights in hospital rooms, nausea that stole her appetite, and pain that no child should ever know.
SHEA stated that after months of suffering, Nirdhan had gone into remission bringing hope and relief to her loved ones. However, in what should have been her healing phase, the unthinkable had happened. During her maintenance treatment, SHEA explained that her cancer returned, and this time, it’s far more aggressive.
The young girl is currently in Guyana, where doctors are providing outstanding support care; however, she is in urgent need of specialized treatment to save her life which is simply is not available here.
“Her doctors have reached out to us at SHEA Charity, and we are working in collaboration with them to seek international medical intervention to save this young child. SHEA Charity is committed to doing everything possible to help Davie, but we cannot do it alone,” the organization expressed.
As they work to secure treatment, coordinate transfer logistics, and immigration matters, SHEA is asking the public to kindly help them in the process of bringing hope to the 13-year-old.
“Davie’s mother (a single mom) is doing everything in her power to stay strong, but the cost of hope is far beyond what any family in their position can bear. This little girl has already proven she’s a fighter. Now, she needs her community to fight with her. From your heart, please give whatever you can today,” SHEA related.
Additionally, SHEA noted that help is needed to cover the girl’s life-saving treatment, along with travel, housing, meals, and basic living essentials while she’s away from home.
