Meet Arjun, a 28-year-old from Kuttiadi, Kerala, whose life has been turned upside down by Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH)—a rare, life-threatening blood disorder that causes the premature destruction of red blood cells. An alumnus of Government Engineering College, Kannur, and National Institute of Technology, Calicut, Arjun had a bright future ahead. However, a failed haplo-identical blood stem cell transplant has worsened his condition, and now he urgently needs a fully HLA-matched blood stem cell donor to survive.
Despite extensive searches in donor registries, no match has been found. The odds of finding a compatible donor are daunting— 1 in a million. For Arjun, the best chance lies in finding a donor from his ethnic and cultural background, as matches are more likely within the same race or ethnicity.
Time is running out. To give Arjun the life-saving transplant he needs, we must register as many potential donors as possible to increase the chances of finding his match.
The match could be YOU.
Let’s come together and give Arjun the second chance he so desperately needs. Join the cause today and be the hope he’s waiting for.
Help us save Arjun’s life—because every second counts.
