Kriti needs you! Become her lifesaver.
Kriti and many other patients like her are in dire need of a blood stem cell transplant as their only chance for survival.
22-year-old Kriti is a commerce graduate from St Columba’s College in Hazaribagh. 10 years ago, her family received the devastating news that she was suffering from Chronic Myeloid Leukemia(CML).
Kriti is waiting for her lifesaving match to be found!
To battle CML, Kriti was prescribed drugs that have now enlarged her spleen due to which she urgently needs a stem cell transplant from a matching donor.
Ever since Kriti’s brother has been vigorously leading the search for a stem cell donor to help save his sister’s life. Young and cheerful Kriti aspires to become a fashion designer and run her very own boutique one day! She often spends her time designing clothes for her family and friends to keep her passion alive. Despite the situation, Kriti is hopeful of finding a matching donor to save her.
However, time is running out with each passing day. Kriti’s life hangs on a thread and finding a matching donor quickly is imperative. We urge you to register yourself with DKMS today and swab to save a life. Together, let’s help Kriti achieve the dreams she has always wanted to make a reality!
How can we beat blood cancer together?
DKMS has been working to find the right donor for patients suffering from blood cancer and blood disorders in India. So far, we have facilitated more than 180 blood stem cell donations. For a stem cell donation, the tissue characteristics of the donor must match those of the patient. When you join the stem cell registry you are on standby to be matched and potentially save the life of anyone with a blood cancer or blood disorder who needs a blood stem cell donation. You can be the right person and with your stem cell donation a real lifesaver.
Good to know...
For many people with a blood cancer or blood disorder, a donation from a matching blood stem cell donor is their best chance of survival. Many people in India can't find a suitable matching donor, as the Indian donors are underrepresented in the worldwide database. This is your call to become a hero in these patient's lives by registering as a potential donor. This will take only few minutes of your time, and it is completely free!
Once you fill out the registration form, a kit will be sent to your home so you can complete the process. To complete your donor registration, you must return it to our office. Only then we will be able to determine if you are a compatible match for Kriti or other patients in need.
