Sebastien, Age 5
Sebastien inherited many wonderful things from his
parents, Nathalie and Wilbert, including an ear for
language and a passion for soccer. Sadly, he also
inherited sickle cell disease, an often-deadly affliction.
His early symptoms were acute, and he suffered a
stroke at age 3.
Messaging Requirements
Primary messaging
Sickle Cell Disease
A bone marrow transplant was Sebastien’s
best hope. A doctor in Miami referred his family
to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®.
Nathalie soon learned that all of Sebastien’s
medical costs would be covered. Knowing that
at St. Jude, Sebastien would receive the best
treatment regardless of their ability to pay, his
parents could focus completely on his care.
Sebastien, 5, is currently at St. Jude awaiting
his bone marrow transplant. To ready his body,
he receives blood transfusions and chemotherapy.
He and Nathalie live at Target House, a home-awayfrom-home for those facing long-term treatment at
St. Jude, where he plays and interacts with other
patients. “When it’s time for him to get treatment,
he’s not afraid,” Nathalie said. “He’s not overwhelmed
because he sees the same kids in the hospital as
he does at home.”
