DR. NANDI’S STORY
You may be asking yourself what Colon Cancer, Stroke and Homelessness have in common?!
I am passionate about these three causes because:
- In my day job as a gastroenterologist I diagnoses colon cancer far too often and is completely preventable!
- My father and first #HealthHero suffered from devastating stroke in 2008
- There are over 554,000 homeless people in the United States alone, We started with a coat drive in our beloved but struggling city of Detroit and to date we have collected over 25,000 coats for shelters throughout metro Detroit.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
We believe in giving back to move the health of our world forward. Through Dr. Nandi Charities, a 501(c)3, we’re able to provide families in-need with the resources they need to stay in good health. See what we’re up to!
HOW WE HAVE HELPED
FAMILIES WE’VE SUPPORTED
Meet Mackenzie:
Upon birth, Donielle’s beautiful baby girl went through a six hour operation, where her twisted intestines were removed, leaving her with a condition called short bowel syndrome. Unable to digest regular food, Mackenzie receives food nutrients via IV fluids 12 hours per day through a broviac catheter in her chest. Mackenzie, now 4 years old, has undergone 11 surgeries and been hospitalized over 35 times because the IV line can get infected, leaving her sick with a very high temperature. With the help of Dr. Nandi Charities, Donielle was able to receive some relief.
