Little Elina from Zwettl an der Rodl in Upper Austria is just a month old and has to fight like a lioness. She can’t do it alone – she needs life-saving stem cell therapy.
A severe immune deficiency and a sick heart. Mom (26) and Dad (31) must protect them from any kind of infection, as the premature baby’s immune system is de facto non-existent – this also means that the parents should only go to their child under strict protective measures.
Typing campaign at the morning pint
Elina fights like a lioness, but she will probably lose alone – she needs life-saving stem cell therapy. Each of us can be a lifesaver, and many are already participating in finding a matching donor.
Dad’s company is publicly calling for typing, which you can do at home with a simple smear test – the call was shared 300 times in a day. And in Zwettl an der Rodl, the family’s birthplace, a type test will take place with a morning pint on Sunday 30 October from 10 a.m. Information is available here.
