Tobi Okunseinde, a resilient five-year-old hailing from Haworth, owes his newfound health to his younger brother, Kwasi, whom he lovingly acknowledges as his savior.
Their father, Folu Okunseinde, expressed profound gratitude, saying, "He definitely changed his life. He definitely saved his life."
Tobi's battle with sickle cell anemia began when he was not even a year old. At that time, the condition was widely perceived as incurable. However, the Okunseinde family discovered a ray of hope in the form of curative therapy involving a bone marrow transplant, with the ideal donor being none other than his younger sibling, Kwasi.
