Sivalingum’s Life Depends on a Donor – You Could Be the One

Sivalingum, a dedicated Durban X-ray technician and beloved grandfather, is battling a rare bone marrow disorder. He urgently needs a stem cell donor to survive. Register today

Sivalingum, a father of two daughters and also a proud grandfather of two is fighting for his life after being diagnosed with Myelofibrosis in June. A dedicated X-ray technician at Addington Hospital in Durban, who is now unable to work, has spent his life caring for others, handling patient queries, and providing support to those in need. Help him find a match by registering at dkms-africa.org/register-now.

Sivalingum’s illness started with persistent tiredness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Initially, doctors believed it to be tuberculosis (TB), but despite treatment, his health didn’t improve. After seeking further medical attention, Sivalingum finally received the correct diagnosis, Myelofibrosis, a rare bone marrow disorder. He has been undergoing treatment since then. His only hope for a full recovery is a matching stem cell donor.

Sivalingum’s fight isn’t just for himself—but for the moments he dreams of sharing with his family.

Sivalingum’s message is clear: “A stem cell donor could be the difference between life and death for someone like me.”

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