Abandoned, Alone, and Fighting Cancer
Akin Has Only Us Left
When we first met Akin last month, he hadn't eaten in two days. His landlord was about to evict him. He had stopped his cancer medication because he couldn't afford it anymore.
Here is the brutal truth:
- Diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer in February 2026
- Abandoned by his children — no family to care for him
- Living alone in a one-room shelter with no running water
- Cannot afford the chemotherapy that could extend his life
- Doctors say he has 6 months without immediate treatment
Every day we wait, Akin gets weaker. Every dollar you give buys him another day of treatment, another meal, another chance.

Our Team in Action
Who We Are
A small team with a single focus: making sure no elder dies alone or forgotten.
Margaret Wilson, Founder
I founded Hearts of Africa in 2018 after years of volunteering across East Africa, where I saw too many children and elders left without the care they desperately needed. Akin's story is one of many — and it's the reason this foundation exists.
Since then, our team has supported more than 1,800 people with medical care, food, shelter and dignity. Akin is one of them — and right now, he needs you.
Every donation is acknowledged personally. Every dollar is tracked publicly. And every person we help becomes part of our extended family for life.

We publish quarterly impact reports, monthly financial summaries, and individual stories of every person we help — including Akin.
This Is Your Chance to Change Akin's Story
You may never meet him. He'll never forget you. Be the reason Akin gets to see another birthday.
