Empowering families and communities stay ahead of child cancer through prevention, early detection and treatment while improving their lives through psychosocial support, research and advocacy.
Sethsmile was founded in 2022 following the death of Seth a 6 year old generous, cheerful and friendly boy in 2021. He was the last born among four children; Cynthia, Rodney and Jonez but his life took a dramatic turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in October 2019. Seth underwent three major brain surgeries but we had only 24 hours with him after his third surgery and he passed away on Christmas day of 2021.
Despite his challenges, Seth’s spirit remained unbroken. He never focused on his own hardships but sought to help others. He signature phrase was “For real!” and he often flashed out his two victory fingers even on his sick bed as attestation that he would fight on.
The family though shattered by the loss became determined to advocate for, raising awareness about brain tumours among children, offering psychosocial support to children suffering from cancer and their families; supporting families from less privileged backgrounds to cover medical expenses through Sethsmile a charity set up in Seth’s memory.
