Elaiya is 18 months old and has the most endearing, loving and warming personality. She also has Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a form of blood cancer.

Elaiya now needs a blood stem cell transplant to save her life. Noone on the global registry is currently her lifesaving match, so DKMS are working hard to recruit more potential lifesavers for her, and others like her.

Elaiya’s Dad says “There is a universal shortage of ethnic minority donors, that’s why we want to raise awareness to these groups of people and anyone to sign up to become donors, as well as on just how important and how simple it is to register.”

It costs DKMS £40 to add each potential lifesaver to the register, and we rely on the generosity of our supporters to cover these costs. Donate today and help give more people, like Elaiya, a second chance of life.
