BE THE HERO RAFFI NEEDS 🌟🌈
At just nine years old, Raffi is facing a battle no child should face. Diagnosed with blood cancer at such a tender age, Raffi has been going through rounds of intense chemotherapy. Her only chance at survival is finding a matching stem cell donor. That matching donor could be YOU. Visit dkms-africa.org/help-save-raffi to help give Raffi a second chance at life. 🌺💪
It was Raffi's second heavy blow, shortly before she started school three years ago, she was diagnosed with blood cancer. After hospitalization and chemotherapy, the cancer seemed to have been beaten. Until a routine examination in January revealed that the cancer was back. 💔😢
Her parents paint a picture of their daughter - a child who finds joy in the simplest of things. Crafting, strumming the guitar, swimming, or partaking in school activities - these are things that light up Raffi's eyes. However, with her day once being filled with laughter and innocent play, Raffi’s days are now spent in a sterile hospital room, waiting for a match that could save her life. 🏥⏳
“Raffi is often very tired and weak, but she hasn't lost hope. She is brave and fights. Everyone else should be just as brave and give her hope for life. It doesn't hurt to register and you should always ask yourself: What if my loved one needed help? Then I would also hope that a stranger would become a lifesaver," said the tearful mother. 💕🙏
Just like Raffi, many other children are waiting for their perfect match for a stem cell donation. Let's join hands and be the heroes these children are waiting for, and visit dkms-africa.org/help-save-raffi to help give them a second chance at life. 🤝❤️🕊️
To become a potential blood stem cell donor you just have to check your eligibility and request a swab kit.
