HELP BABY KARIEN FIND HER LIFE-SAVING MATCH 🙏

7-month-old Baby Karien Swanepoel is in desperate need of a life-saving blood stem transplant from a matching donor and you could be her only hope. Request a swab kit to register as a blood stem cell donor today https://dkms-africa.org/be-a-donor/ 💌

Baby Karien was diagnosed with SCID (Severe Combined Immuno-Deficiency) after a range of extensive and intensive diagnostic tests. SCID, also known as "bubble baby syndrome", meaning that Karien has no immune system. 🥺

The Swanepoel family is sending out a desperate plea for as many qualifying blood stem cell donors to join the DKMS donor registry today and give hope to this beautiful baby girl and her family.

"Karien is such a special little girl who has touched the lives of so many people in such a short span of time. Finding a match for her will be an incredible blessing but if someone else finds their match through this process then it will be all the more meaningful. Please register today," pleads Mom Natasja. 🙏

Anyone who is healthy and between the ages of 18 - 55 can register to become a donor for anyone with a life-threatening blood disorder and in need of a lifesaving transplant. https://dkms-africa.org/be-a-donor/

Today we honour and remember Chris Corlett as we continue the fight to give the hope of life to individuals diagnosed with blood cancer in need of a transplant.

His fortitude and willingness to share even the darkest moments of his short life, awakened a flood of public support, which resulted in the birth of The Sunflower Fund.🌻

Register as a blood donor today.
