Durban - A KwaZulu-Natal family is appealing for residents to sign up and become bone marrow donors in the hopes of saving their little girl's life.
Her family said she spent most of her life in hospital, where she has been receiving several rounds of chemotherapy to prepare her for a bone marrow stem cell transplant, which she desperately needs to save her life.For Mahi and many children like her, they have to rely on the selflessness of a stranger to donate stem cells, as only 30% of patients are lucky enough to find a match within their immediate family.
According to the SABMR, the cost of a bone marrow stem cell transplant from an international donor is more than double the cost of a local donor.
