'The thought of not seeing my little boys grow up and not being able to be there for them and for my husband is unbearable to me.'

A German woman with severe blood cancer desperately needs a mixed race stem cell donor and says ‘time is running out’.the thought of not being able to see her young sons grow up is ‘unbearable’ and is appealing to London’s Nigerian community in an attempt to save her own life.

Tragically, her life-threatening disease is not the first sad stroke of fate their family has to cope with. ‘The reason I am appealing to the British public – and to those who read Metro.co.uk – is because London has the biggest Nigerian community outside of West Africa, with Peckham often labelled as “Little Lagos”.She needs a donor who has one parent from West Africa, ideally Nigeria, and the other from Europe.In September last year, Astrid was getting ready for the weekend one Friday when she visited the doctor with a ‘seemingly normal sore throat’.

‘After an hour in hospital, the devastating diagnosis was confirmed, and the doctors urged me to immediately start chemotherapy.’
