On this day, 206 years ago, physician James Blundell, one of the founders of haemo transfusion and paediatric intensive care medicine, performed the world's first human-to-human blood transfusion. Blood is a mobile internal medium of the body and fulfils crucial functions for the normal functioning of the human body.
Today, I want to share the story of little Zhanna. She has the rare first blood group with a negative Rh factor, which is found in only 6-7% of the world's population. Zhanna is battling blood cancer and faces difficulties in finding blood and platelets for transfusion, which are crucial for her treatment. As a result, Zhanna, with her rare blood type, urgently needs help to survive.
In Zhanna's home country, they were unable to help her. However, doctors at the Acibadem Clinic in Turkey have taken on her case. The selected therapy is effectively suppressing the cancer cells, and the treatment needs to be completed with a bone marrow transplantation. Unfortunately, Zhanna's family does not have the financial means to proceed with the transplant. As a result, the doctors are continuing her chemotherapy, but her body is at its limit, barely holding on. Postponing the transplant is dangerous.
The future of young Zhanna, who believes and hopes that kind-hearted adults will save her, depends on your help!

According to Zhanna's doctor, the little girl has 4 chemotherapy sessions left, and the preparation for the bone marrow transplant (BMT) will begin preliminarily next week. Everyone is anxious and nervous about everything going well. However, the most important question of payment for the transplant remains open. The clinic is requesting 60% of the amount to be paid, but the parents do not have enough money.

Myrza's family is living in anticipation. The boy has already received part of the treatment, which consists of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and radiation. The main block of chemotherapy is ahead of him, so Myrza will have to return to the hospital very soon. However, the parents are extremely anxious due to the lack of funds to cover their son's further treatment.

The tumour that was causing her severe headaches has reduced slightly after the chemo. That has cheered us up, at least a little. Generally speaking, she is feeling a bit better. The doctors say we will need more radiotherapy.
