Meet Dan

Dan is one special little boy. He is full of character and he is full of life. He is very clever and a quick learner. He is also very mischievous! Climbing things he shouldn't and taking things apart to see how they work are some of Dan's favourite things to do. Dan deserves the chance to grow up, get a job, have a family and live a long and happy life… but he needs YOUR help.

Dan's Start to Life

Dan sadly lost his mum as a very young baby and quickly became malnourished. He was admitted to a children's home where he was taken care of.

It was here that our founder, Emilie, first met Dan in 2014. At that point, Dan still wasn't very well, but after numerous doctors appointments, we were told he was suffering from long-term effects of being extremely malnourished a baby. We were told to feed him a high protein diet and to use good quality cream on his skin.

How YOU can help Dan

So far, we have reached:

Spiderman protects his neighbourhood and for just £6 a month, you can become a Spiderman and help protect Dan's kidneys!

£6 pays for one day of Dan's current medication - a crucial part of his medical care. This medicine is keeping Dan alive and helping his condition improve. It is helping to delay - or hopefully entirely prevent - Dan's kidneys from any further damage.

Could you give Dan enhanced healing like Black Panther? Dan's nephrologist has said that the correct medication will give Dan the best chance at living a long, happy and healthy life.

Signing up to be a Black Panther and donating £12 per month will pay for 2 days of Dan's vital medication - giving him the best possible chance of getting better.

Captain America carries an indestructible shield. Dan has to stick to a strict diet plan to help avoid any further kidney damage. Healthy food IS Dan's shield.

When you become a Captain America and donate £30, this covers two weeks of Dan's food for his special meal plan. This includes lots of extra fruit and veg, ensuring he's getting all the important nutrients.

Thor’s hammer is an extremely powerful weapon. The best possible weapon Dan has against his disease are regular tests and check-ups at hospital.

£75 a month will cover Dan’s monthly hospital consultation fee and medical tests in Kampala. These monthly appointments allow the doctors to monitor Dan closely and make any necessary changes to his medication.

Bruce banners experiment went wrong - help us to create a pot of funds that will be set aside in the event of unforeseen circumstances.

It was a scary time when Dan was initially admitted to hospital - it was going to cost thousands of pounds to treat him and we simply didn't have it spare. We don't want to risk being in that situation again. £100 per month will allow us to put an adequate amount of money aside - just in case.

For those of you able to give more, we have the Ironman Tier. Tony Stark assumed the role of a caregiver for Spiderman. We hope to find someone to fill this role for Dan.

£145 per month would cover the salary for a caregiver for Dan. A caregiver would be able to cook Dan his specialised menu, take him to his hospital appointments, generally take care of him day-to-day and communicate with you - Dan's superheroes!

How much of my donation goes directly towards Dan’s medical care?

After any payment fees, all your donation goes into Dan's pot. The majority of this covers his medical costs: doctor's consultation, tests and medication. The rest covers: transport to hospital in Kampala, overnight stay in Kampala, food whilst in Kampala, special cream for Dan's skin, a nutritional food plan and a caregiver to look after Dan. If our target goal is reached, £100 of this per month will be going into a savings account should there be any future medical emergencies for Dan. Dan still has regular sponsorship over on the Child Sponsorship page which covers his living expenses and cost of education. All money raised through Dan's Superheroes is directly for his medical and health needs.
How long does my sponsorship last?

Dan's medical costs will be lifelong. We hope one day, he'll grow up, graduate university and get a well paying job to cover his own costs. Until then, we will strive to make sure he gets the medical attention he needs. For this reason - your sponsorship can last as long as you are able and happy to support Dan: whether this be 1 year or 10 years - every donation will help Dan get the medical care he needs.
Can I cancel anytime?
