Update: Zolgensma, the life-changing treatment for Baby Shamel, has been officially registered in Singapore! This means that the cost of the medication has significantly reduced from 3 million SGD to 2.4 million SGD.
With your incredible support, we have raised 2.3 million SGD so far, bringing us closer to our goal. Now, with Zolgensma registered, our insurance will cover the remaining 100k SGD.
We are immensely grateful for your unwavering support throughout this challenging journey. Your prayers, love, and generosity have made a world of difference to Baby Shamel and his family.
As we approach the final steps, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for every single contribution. Words cannot fully express how much your support has meant to us.
Stay tuned for further updates! Let's continue to keep Baby Shamel in our thoughts and prayers as we eagerly anticipate his upcoming treatment in June.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

DonateSMA is a rare neuromuscular condition that causes muscles to become weak and damages the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It leads to progressive muscular weakness and affects the ability to independently sit, crawl, stand, walk, swallow and even breathe. Shamel is currently in a position where he can only sit with support, and that too, not for long minutes. It is very hard for us as parents to see him struggle to move around and exhaust himself from trying to take a toy. Every child should be able to play. Without medication, further deterioration and eventual death of his motor neurones will lead him to total immobility and weakness.
Shamel’s hope lies in Zolgensma, a one-time gene therapy acting on the gene by replacing the function of the missing or non-working Survival Motor Neurone (SMN1) gene. Shamel needs to receive Zolgensma before he turns 2.
