Can you help a young girl in the UK.
This informaton is taken direct from the Facebook page linked below.
Can you help.

About
Melanie is a young lady with 2 very rare conditions. She is having a bone marrow transplant and needs Fresh blood group B+ urgently. Please help us save this little girls life
Description
Melanie was diagnosed with Chediak Hegashie Syndrome & HLH approx 6mnths ago.

She is very poorly and currently in Great Ormand Street Hospital.

She has been very luck to find a bone marrow donor and her consultants need to do this transplant ASAP. To enable her to have the bone marrow she will need fresh blood infusions 24hrs a day 7 days a week. BLOOD GROUP TYPE B+

Please could you check you blood type share this group with EVERYONE you know. This needs to be done NOW!!!

The blood donation must be fresh as they are unable to use blood banks as the blood is not fresh enough. You will either be asked to travel to St Georges hospital in London or you may be able to go to your local hospital and the blood will be sent up straight away. Funding may be available for reimbursment of travel fares.

Her dad estimates that she will need about 200 donors.

If you are able to help please inbox me or email karenfriend@emporium-parties.co.uk with your name & contact number or TXT ONLY to Melanies Dad Paul 07971 366062 with your name and the wording im happy to help i'm B+ and the hospital will be in touch with you.

Thank you for helping and please please please pass this on to everyone you know. This is the only chance Melanie has to survive.
