Ghana international Alexander Djiku continues to rally for support for a toddler suffering from Angelman Syndrome.
In a post on social media, the Black Stars defender who earlier in June donated an amount of €2000 towards the treatment, called for support to ensure the young Nathan beats the sickness.

“I was very moved when Nathan’s parents proposed to me to become a sponsor of the association. I immediately accepted because the fight they lead alongside their son touches me. It was the sequel. the logic of my commitment to their side,” he said.
He also encouraged the supporters of Strasbourg to participate in a solidarity raffle to aid the parents from many expenses engendered by the treatment.
“I know that the Strasbourg supporters have a big heart and I hope that as many as possible of them will mobilize for Nathan by participating in this raffle. All funds will be donated to the association and will be used to help Nathan’s parents to face the many expenses engendered by the treatments put in place so that their son may have the most dignified life possible,” he said.
Angelman Syndrome is a genetic disorder causing developmental disabilities and nerve-related symptoms. Angelman syndrome usually isn’t detected until developmental delays become noticeable, usually when a baby is about six to 12 months old.
