2-year-old Neeom has been suffering from Thalassemia Major since he was just 8 months old.
Neeom, a happy and bubbly child from Himachal Pradesh, fills his days with laughter and his unwavering love for cars. He adores sitting in the driving seat with his father and dancing with his mother, creating cherished memories that light up their world.
Neeom's journey was overshadowed by the diagnosis of Thalassemia Major when he was just 8 months old. For the past two years, he has endured the painstaking process of traveling nearly 400 kilometers every few weeks for blood transfusions, affecting his already fragile health. His family has supported him tirelessly, but they yearn for a brighter future for Neeom that doesn't involve constant hospital visits and the uncertainty of his condition.
Neeom's treating physician, Dr. Vikas Dua, at Fortis Hospital, Gurgaon, has recommended a Stem Cell Transplant as his best long-term treatment option. But to undergo this lifesaving procedure, Neeom urgently requires an unrelated matching blood stem cell donor. The hope of a successful transplant fills his parents' hearts with joy.
By registering as a potential stem cell donor, you can make a significant difference in his life or the lives of other patients facing similar battles. The process is simple, yet it could give Neeom a new lease on life.
