A 33-years-old mum Shirley Kordie For the last seven years, she’s been living with hypoplastic MDS – a very rare form of blood cancer. Now, time is running out and her doctors at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham have said she urgently needs a stem cell transplant to survive.

Shirley’s brother Joseph, who works as a nurse in Ghana, is a perfect 10/10 match and ready to donate his stem cells to try and save Shirley’s life. However, the Home Office has refused his visa application to come over to the UK to donate. The reason given is that he doesn’t earn enough money.

The refusal letter from UK Visas and Immigration stated:
“While I am aware of the importance of family contact and the compassionate nature of your application, I must, however, also consider your personal and financial circumstances in Ghana when addressing your application.”

Blood cancer charities Anthony Nolan and the African-Caribbean Leukaemia Trust are working together to support Shirley’s case and help get this decision overturned.

Shirley desperately wants to be well again so she can return to work and go back to her home in Walsall, near Birmingham, to be there to support her son.
“My life is in danger - I need to get my life back for my son. I have my little boy, and I want to live for him.”

There are no other options for a donor on the international stem cell registers, and no way for Joseph to donate in Ghana. Shirley’s best chance of survival is for her brother to be allowed to come to the UK and donate.

It is well with her

The denial message was so darn cold!
African leaders fix your countries dammit!

That's a lame excuse!!!

Blame Buhari for this. I was also denied a USA visa for no reason, Africa leaders should wake up, let us be denying those whites visa to our countries too, enough of this.

DESTINY

TobbieDfirst:
It is well with her

Amen!

Hmmmmmm

There is a life at stake here so these guys should pls pity the poor man and grant him entrance.

This right here is why I hate African leaders. Using their greed to ruin the continent. If we had visionary leaders, who would wanna leave our beautiful continent.

But the guy is not going for business there nah......

They are more interested in having that child up for adoption, useless country .

They know that nurses are highly needed in the UK and every part of the world and if this man is allow to go there, his eye will open and he will surely take control and dominate. #WICKEDPPLE

African leaders stop money laundering and fix ur continent I wish it is one of these politicians wife or children that has this issue I would have been jubiliating

how i wish they deny our leaders entry into their countries so that they would learn to sit up and do the right thing

This is terrible

Dis one just weak me... cant she be flown down to Ghana for the fvcking transplant?

They don't really care about us


Afrikans unite and save your continent

Wow!!! The white privilege on overdrive. These lots are going so racist on immigration and coming to the western world. Yet a lot of Nigerians on this forum support Trump and Europe right wing parties, I just can't understand y'all. African government should also start denying western corporations coming to pillage African natural resources.

whoever denied that man the visa is a cold blooded animal!!

White devils. Did they collect visa when they came to steal and rape here and elsewhere.? Their judgement is still coming

Very cold reply to his visa application.

How is his salary even important in this matter?
He just needs to go there to save his sister not to stay there permanently.

What if there are already people who are willing to raise money to send him there for the procedure?

Some rules are just stupid

The same UK that is asking the US to openup their borders and admit all manner of illegal aliens just because they brought kids with them. What hypocrites.

After claiming London and speaking with a British accent

While they still issue visa to some applicants with fake documents...


I don't blame them.

Honestly, sometimes I wish there were a magic wand one would wave over the African continent to transform it from the perpetual backwardness it has been stuck in for forever. Sometimes I wonder why we're the least developed in so many indices. We have everything to make us global powers, but yet we are poor! God wetin happen to us?
