Although Megan is probably in Bangkok, anyone in Phuket can donate blood through Wachira Hospital Phuket on Yaowarat Road, Phuket City. Khun Vichot is the director of the Wachira Hospital Blood Bank at 089-6508998 or possibly contact Peter Davison 089 5743331 at Phuket International Hospital on bypass road, where he keeps database of donors for any emergencies.

SEEKING "A" RH NEGATIVE BLOOD DONORS

FOR 9-YEAR OLD LEUKEMIA PATIENT

"* * *

Dear Sir/Madam

My 9-year old daughter, Arisa (Megan) Erchukiat, is hospitalized, diagnosed

with Leukemia (AML). Matching blood type and bone marrow is crucial for treating

this life-threatening illness. Thailand has only minimal supply of Megan's

blood group i.e., "A" Rh Negative.

The Thai Red Cross Society and the National Blood Centre are short of active

donors with this rare blood type. My wife and I need help from anyone who can

donate this blood type and perhaps also make a Stem Cell donation to help Megan

with her treatment for the next few months.

If you can donate blood or make a Stem Cell donation or know anyone who can

donate, my wife and I can be reached as follows:

. Samkhan Erchukiat / 081-811-3933

Email address: [email protected]

. Manasawee Erchukiat / 081-811-3933

Email address: khuntammy[AT]yahoo.com (To send an email replace [AT] with @)

All groups of blood are suitable for Stem Cell donation, not just "A"

Rh Negative group. The Thai Red Cross Society and the National Blood Centre are

open every day :

Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 08:00 am - 16:30 pm

Tuesday and Thursday, 07:00 am - 19.30 pm

Saturday and Sunday, 08:30 am - 15:30 pm

Call to make further inquiry as follows:

1) 02-251-3111

2) 02-252-4106-9 Ext. 114, 161, 162

. Thai Red Cross Society www.redcross.or.th

. National Blood Centre www.nbc.in.th

Please note that Stem Cell donation must be made no later than 15:00 pm every

day.

My wife and I would like to express our deepest gratitude and thanks for your

support in trying to help our Megan.

Yours Faithfully

Samkhan Erchukiat"
