"It feels good to save people, I am very lucky to be able to save two people"! It is no longer easy for a person to donate marrow to save people in his lifetime. The probability of successful bone marrow pairing is only one in 100,000, but this kind-hearted person can successfully pair twice within two years, saving two people and two families.
"Because of your love, I can exist"! The 2019 World Bone Marrow Donor Day Thanksgiving Event started at Luzhou Jingsi Hall in New Taipei City on the 24th. Zeng Yuzhu and his family, who successfully paired two families, attended the meeting in a special manner. The probability of successful bone marrow pairing of
is only one in 100,000. Zeng Yuzhu said that she was lucky enough to have successfully paired two times and donated hematopoietic stem cells to save people. The probability of this is really very low, but she has two chances to save people.
Zeng Yuzhu donated bone marrow stem cells for the first time. Two years later, during the second pairing, hematopoietic stem cells were donated through peripheral blood. The Bodhisattva gave her a healthy body, allowing her to successfully save two people and two families.
Zeng Yuzhu's husband smiled and said that at first he received a call from Tzu Chi volunteers, he thought it was a fraud group. He handled it coldly for two days, but the volunteer did not give up and "stand" at his doorstep for two days before he confirmed that it was true.
The first donation was to collect bone marrow stem cells from intestinal bones. The gentleman was worried that he had to follow and accompany him. The second donation was that he saw that his wife was healthier in two years, and he was sure that he was safe and safe. He was completely confident that his wife would go to Hualien to complete the task of saving people.
on the third Saturday of September each year is World Marrow Donor Day (WMDD). On September 21, 2019, a grand event for gratitude donors will be held around the world.
Tzu Chi Bone Marrow Database has completed more than 5,400 transplant cases so far (2019/07/31), and more than 5,400 patients have been reborn as a result, saving 5,400 families from the suffering of illness. There are still many patients waiting for transplants around the world, and more volunteers need to be recruited to build files and donate.
Tzu Chi Bone Marrow Stem Cell Center currently receives an average of 300 patients every month to submit pairing applications through the transplant hospital, but only 30 people agree to donate each month, and the ratio of donation to waiting is 1:10. In the past year, more than 3,000 patients with blood diseases have failed to wait for transplants.
Tzu Chi Bone Marrow Stem Cell Center held a promotion and gratitude to global donor activities in all counties and cities across Taiwan from August to the end of September. On August 24, Taipei and Taichung were the first to appear. Tzu Chi volunteers paid tribute to donors in various counties and cities across Taiwan and said they were grateful and welcomed to participate in the event. Thank you for your love!
