MPHO’S STORY OF DETERMINATION

Mpho and her mom, Gladys, both have bright, beaming smiles, fun-loving personalities, and a tendency to get messy while baking (watch the video to see what we mean). Mpho is fighting acute myeloid leukaemia, a type of cancer which starts in the bone marrow and causes the body to produce large quantities of abnormal blood cells. Leukaemia is an incredibly dangerous type of cancer because it advances rapidly, so early detection and proper treatment is vital. Luckily, Mpho was diagnosed quickly and her doctors got her onto chemotherapy as soon as they could.

Gladys was referred to Cupcakes of Hope by Mpho’s doctor. Gladys phoned them, but it was the festive season and even heroes like the team from Cupcakes of Hope need a break every now and then, so she didn’t get an immediate response. Mpho took matters into her own hands and reached out to Cupcakes of Hope herself via their Facebook page. Though she’s still young, this girl is filled with determination! Cupcakes of Hope answered her call with financial support that helps her get to hospital, cover the medical bills, and enjoy healthy foods.

Mpho is responding very well to her treatment, but what she needs most right now is a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find bone marrow donors in South Africa, mainly because of the misconception that donating bone marrow is painful. However this is not the case! If you are interested in helping leukaemia patients, and you’re between the ages of 16 and 45, please contact the South African Bone Marrow Registry to register.
