Who am I?

My name is Emmanuel, I am 23 years old and came to the UK five years ago from Ghana to live with my father who is a British Citizen. My father works as a Security Guard and uses all his earnings to help pay for my legal fees.

My Case

Since being here I have been diagnosed with DFSP - a rare form of skin cancer. I have been receiving treatment and this has meant the growths on my neck and chest have significantly reduced.  To prevent the growth of these tumours I take  medication and attend regular appointments at a specialist cancer centre.  I have been appealing to the Home Office for “leave to remain” but has been a long fight. If my efforts are not successful I will be returned to my country of birth where I will be alone and with no treatment.

I have so much to give if I was allowed to contribute to society and re-pay the huge debt I owe for this life saving treatment. I am not allowed to work but have been volunteering with a Cancer Charity and taking every opportunity I can to better myself to ensure I am able to find work if I am allowed to stay. 

I have dreams of an ordinary life and of being more than a cancer patient.

Please help support my application to the Home Office to let me stay and receive the treatment that keeps me alive by donating to my campaign and sharing this page.
