Kim Kardashian pleas for bone marrow donor
Celebuzz/Kim Kardashian Kim Kardashian is using her voice — to reach
out to her millions of social media followers — to desperately help
save her sick cousin’s life. In an emotional Feb. 6 post on her
official Celebuzz blog, the pregnant reality star pleads with the
public to help her Armenian cousin get a life-saving transplant. “This
is difficult for me to write, but we really need your help,” Kim
explains revealing her cousin CiCi has been in a 17-year battle
with cancer. “She’s been going through chemo for such a long time,
but now the cancer is not responding to the chemo and she needs a
bone marrow stem cell transplant.”
Kim reveals the procedure is necessary for Cici to live, but
explains the difficulty in finding a proper donor. “What makes this
more difficult is that the donor must be of Armenian descent…We are
asking every Armenian who reads this message to reach out to the bone
marrow registry and sign up so that we can find a match for Cici.”
The 32-year-old promises that donating bone marrow is “actually not as
scary as it sounds.” One of the ways to donate is as simple as getting
blood drawn from the arm. Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian have
all been tested, but are not compatible matches for their cousin, Cici.
That’s why the famous family is turning to the public to help give
their cousin a life-saving transplant. “Please help our family’s plea
by signing up and pray that we all can save Cici’s life!”
