Eleven-year-old Darshil Soni from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, was diagnosed with Thalassemia Major. He urgently needs a matched unrelated blood stem cell donor to give him a second chance at life. You can be a lifesaver; register with DATRI to be his one in a million donor to gift him a second chance at life.

Every patient has only a 25% chance of finding a match within the family. Regardless, the rest of the patients who do not find a suitable donor within the family have to depend on an unrelated blood stem cell donor. Manish Soni, Darshil’s father, says, “We do not have a match within the family, and we need to find a match soon so that he can grow up like a normal kid.” Manish also adds that “Darshil needs a blood transfusion every week, and being a child, it is very painful.”

A blood stem cell transplant is the only possible way to help him gift a second chance at life. He urgently needs an HLA matched donor to undergo a blood stem cell transplant. The possibility of getting a perfect match donor is 1 in 10,000 to 1 in a million.

He loves to play cricket, chess, and read books. His ambition is to become a doctor. We need as many potential donors to sign up for Darshil Soni and many other patients who are still suffering from blood cancer and life-threatening blood disorders!
