Blood and Life

For our children to kick a ball, go to school or play at a friends house, they need regular 4 weekly blood transfusions for the rest of their lives.

The Blood recieved from donors allows their bodies to not have to work so hard. The gift received from donors gives our children the opportunity to experience a normal life full of family, friends, fun and games.

When our children were first diagnosed with sicklecell thalassaemia we were told that they would only live to the age of Five. If they recieved blood transfusions they would have five years more live to the age of ten.

Thanks to the blood donors, I have a teenager that enjoy's playing sport, is able to come on long walks with me and hang out with her friends. She is a typical teenager that loves shopping, goes to the movies, listen's to music and goes to party’s with her girlfirends. She is able to do this because of donors. She has dreams just like anyone else. She has a future. When she grows up she wants to become an Interior designer or an Architect.

Thanks to the blood donors, our son is 12. He is a member of the school’s basketball team. This young man has a passion for sport and cooking and hopes to realise his dream one day soon of becoming a professional basketball player or coach and a chef with his own restaurant. He has these dreams and more, why? BLOOD DONORS

Thanks to all the blood donors, our youngest child has a big brother & sister that she can hug, play and grow up with.
