Help Kaitlin Find a Matching Stem Cell Donor

Diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia, Kaitlin’s Only Option Is a Stem Cell Transplant

25-year-old Kaitlin was diagnosed with Aplastic Anaemia in August 2025, a rare and life-threatening bone marrow failure disorder. She urgently needs a matching stem cell donor to receive a second chance at life and that match could be you.

Her journey began years ago with persistent, heavy bleeding that was initially treated as PCOS. Even while on contraceptives, the bleeding continued. Over time, she became severely fatigued and weak, until she was referred to a haematologist. A bone marrow biopsy confirmed Aplastic Anaemia, and she soon began needing regular blood transfusions.

Today, Kaitlin undergoes weekly transfusions just to keep her strength up. Her body has not responded to treatment, leaving a stem cell transplant as her only hope for a cure. “I felt like my life was over… everything happened so fast, I haven’t even processed it properly. I’m just grateful to God,” she shares.

A devoted sister and aunt, Kaitlin treasures every moment with her young siblings and nephews. She has so much life ahead of her, dreams to pursue and memories still to make. Help give Kaitlin the future she deserves. Register as a stem cell donor today at dkms-africa.org/register-now.

If you are between 17 - 55 and in good health, you can make a difference today. Register and help give patients like Kaitlin a second chance at life.

Remember, all costs related to the donation process are taken care of by DKMS Africa.
