Donors respond to SMS plea for AB+ blood
PETALING JAYA: A week ago housewife Chuwa Siok Hong was at a loss over how to get donors with AB+ blood type for her nine-year-old son's bone marrow transplant.
However, e-mails and text messages via short messaging service which originated from Chuwa's friend relating the plight of her son Ang Boon Kit, diagnosed with leukaemia, had brought relief to the family.
Many who received the messages responded to Chuwa's appeal.
At the University Malaya Medical Centre yesterday, Boon Kit's father Ang Chek Chau said they now had seven donors on standby for the operation next month.
“We would like to thank those who spread the news and those who responded,” said Chuwa.
