Hi, my name is Kareem Abdullah. I am 18 years old and around 5 months ago i unfortunately got diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma Cancer. This has put so much stress on me and my family it is unbelievable.

Here you see the cancer cells around my neck. There are more around my lungs.

I was set to do my exams to enter college which i studied really hard for but i couldn't because, i was in the hospital. I stayed in the hospital for weeks. They took out 3.5 litres of fluid from my right lung which is not meant to be there. I am having so much side effects from chemotherapy and im under so much pressure.

I never expected this to happen to me as an 18 year old. I lost connections to nearly most of my friends. I feel abandoned, while they go to college and start a new chapter of their lives, im left behind battling cancer every day.

I am in need of financial support at the moment. I will be using the money to buy essential supplements, medicine, herbs to reduce chemo side effects and improve my immunity. I cannot work because of my diagnosis and money will be so much help to me at this moment.

I would be eternally grateful if you can donate. I have a PET scan and unfortunately i am not cancer free yet and need to do change my chemotherapy drugs to more stronger chemo drugs that will make me stay in the hospital for much longer. It will be much tougher on my body if i decide to do this stronger chemo since this one i am currently on has not fully worked.

Thank you to everyone who can donate.
