Help Aashi

This is an unusual post, but very important. Given below is the excerpt of the mail from my friend Yash.

Hey Bimalesh - here is a short writeup.

My niece Aashi is five year old living in Gurgaon, India suffering from blood cancer or Acute lymbhoblastic leukemia with CNS (Central nervous system) involvement. She has already undergone around 2 years of intensive chemotherapy but it is not helping her anymore as disease has relapsed in central nervous system. Only an Unrelated Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) can save her life.

We have set up a website for her - http://www.helpsaveaashi.com . Details about her and her illness are on the website. Any donation from your end is very valuable. Your financial help will go towards Aashi's bone marrow transplant and treatment. Please let friends and people close to you know about this who may be interested to help.

Latest from 13th May 2010: There is a good news that doctors have found HLA typing match at NMDP. This is extremely positive. However, NMDP is going to do further screening on the donor. This news about initial match has been updated on the website and the doctors' match report will be put up in couple of days as well.


Thanks for your support. Please email me if you have any questions and/or suggestions.

Best Regards

Yash
