Abhilash Kumar, who was born in Pathanamthitta, Kerala, and currently lives in Delhi, works as a civil engineer to support his wife and daughter. A simple man with a simple wish; to be able to take care of his family.
His life was close to perfect until his unfortunate diagnosis of Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with multilineage dysplasia. He had to undergo treatment at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences and after rigorous chemotherapy sessions, his physician Dr Neeraj said the only chance of recovery for Abhilash is through a stem cell transplant from a matching donor. Due to the complexity of his disorder, he is in immediate need of a transplant otherwise his illness could worsen severely and develop into leukaemia.
Abhilash loves his family dearly and wishes to be able to spend more time with them. As the sole earner of his family, without his supports, his wife and daughter may struggle to make ends meet. Like any parent, he too wants to be able to watch his daughter grow up and live a beautiful life.

How we can beat blood cancer together?
DKMS-BMST has been working to find the right donor for patients suffering from blood cancer and blood disorders in India. So far, we have facilitated 48 blood stem cell donations. For a stem cell donation, the tissue characteristics of the donor must match those of the patient. When you join the stem cell registry you are on standby to be matched and potentially save the life of anyone with a blood cancer or blood disorder who needs a blood stem cell donation. You can be the right person and with your stem cell donation a real lifesaver.
