Thessaloniki: “Wave of solidarity” for three-year-old George who needs a bone marrow donor

Little Giorgakis from Thessaloniki, who suffers from infectious mononucleosis and is being treated at the Hippocratic Hospital, is looking for a compatible donor for a bone marrow transplant.

The family of the 3-year-old boy sends its own message through GRTimes.gr and emphasizes that one minute of each citizen’s time is enough to find the right donor.

“This process costs absolutely nothing and only takes a minute, with the result that in the end a child is saved. “Those who can devote some time to their time, we ask them to register in the blood donation departments of AHEPA and” Papanikolaou “hospitals, unless he is already a voluntary donor, aged 18-45”.

According to what is reported to GRtimes.gr, the president of the “Playground” Association, Konstantinos Firinidis, has not yet found a compatible donor from the family environment of the child and the life of little Giorgakis is in danger if no one is found. “We hope a compatible donor is found and the child lives. The process is very easy and fast. The child’s family is in daily contact with the doctors and they are waiting for the moment when the right donor will be found. Basically, it all started with a specific enzyme, where in a male it “creates” this disease, while in a female it does not “.

Note that the process of taking a sample is done with a person’s saliva and is completely painless. If a compatible donor is found, he / she gives a bottle of blood to the person who needs it. “One moment of life is the whole life of a child in this case. “With this move, little Giorgakis, but also patients who are looking for a donor of hematopoietic cells will have more hopes to be able to live, like all of us”, adds in GRTimes.gr the presidents of the “Playground” Association.
