With all of the negativity in the world today, it’s easy to forget that there are still good people out there who are doing kind things for one another. That’s why it’s so great that a story is going viral this week that is renewing our faith in humanity in a huge way!

Oscar Saxelby-Lee is a 5 year-old boy from Worcester, England who is fighting for his life after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which has put his life in danger. The cancer has given Oscar a variety of health problems, as it has caused immature white blood cells to flood his system.

Doctors have told Oscar’s parents that he only has three months to live unless he can find a stem cell donor. Luckily for Oscar, he had some very good people around him who were going to do whatever they could to save his life.

Laura Senter, Oscar’s teaching assistant, was devastated when she learned about his diagnosis. She went right to the school, where teachers ended up organizing a massive event in search for a stem cell donor for Oscar. The organizers behind the event made a public announcement, calling on anyone between the ages of 17 and 55 to come and register as donors.

The first day of the event, 1,800 people showed up to be registered, and 3,000 people followed them on day two. It rained both days, and people had to stand outside for hours waiting to be registered, but all waited in line patiently.

It will now take weeks to go through all of the donors and find the most qualify person to help save Oscar, but the little boy and his parents will never forget this outpouring of love and support from their community.

Please keep little Oscar in your thoughts and prayers!
