12-year-old Mohammed Arman, who is suffering from Aplastic Anemia, is on the lookout for a stem cell donor who can save his life. He needs a donor and he needs one fast.
Patients suffering from such blood disorders often rely on their siblings. Unfortunately, Arman바카라s siblings failed to be a suitable match.
Since ethnicity plays a significant role in finding a suitable match, there are greater chances that Arman can find a donor among the Muslim community. A matched donor has to donate only 300 ml of blood to save a life.
Arman바카라s father, who is a tailor, struggles to make both ends meet and he cannot afford his son바카라s expensive medical treatment. 바카라I have pinned all my hopes on the holy month of Ramadan. I pray to Allah to send some angel who can save my son바카라s life,바카라 he said.
The Islamic month of Ramadan starts on April 12 and it will continue till May 12. During the whole month, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk and offer prayers.
Quoting a verse from the Quran, Arman바카라s father says, 바카라If anyone saved a life, it would be as if he has saved whole of humanity.바카라
India's largest blood stem cell donors바카라 registry, DATRI, has also started an online campaign to motivate more and more Muslim youths to come forward for stem cell donation during Ramadan.
"Aplastic Anemia is a rare blood disorder in which the body stops producing stem cells,바카라 said Sumati Misra, Head, Counseling & Transplant Centre Management.
She adds, 바카라Blood stems are the mother cells in the bone marrow that produce blood and important components like platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells. They are essential for the survival of the human body.바카라
Since Ramadan is considered to be a sacred month for Muslims, DATRI believes that it is an opportune time to encourage youngsters to donate.
This will not only help Arman find a match for himself but also help many other victims of similar diseases, start a new life.
