Desperate Nigerian parents are trying to raise almost a million British pounds to save their son who’s dying from a rare form of leukemia.

Mr and Mrs Nabena from Lagos State took Nathaniel to London to have prosthetic eye fitted, but during treatment doctors discovered cancer of the blood.

Nathaniel can’t be treated under the free National Health Service, because he’s not a British citizen or an emergency patient.

This leaves his parents stranded in the UK trying to fund chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant.
