I love my mom - Eva's family is looking for stem cell donors

The 24-year-old from Stuttgart Eva has just become a mother - then came the shock diagnosis: blood cancer. Her family is now desperately looking for a stem cell donor.

"We wanted to get married, the rings and dress were already bought, a big wedding was planned and a child was expecting - we could not have been happier, during that time Eva often felt weak and got a bad breath, we thought that was normal in pregnancy But unfortunately it was not normal - Eva was diagnosed with blood cancer, the shock was so unimaginable, the world stopped spinning, you just want to wake up, that everything is fine again - but that does not work ... "

The 24-year-old from Stuttgart Eva is pregnant and overjoyed - but in the 18th week of pregnancy she gets the shock diagnosis of blood cancer. During pregnancy, she has to undergo strenuous chemotherapy. Despite all this, little Emilia is today a healthy and happy baby. Everything seemed initially as if things were going uphill again, but now the cancer has returned and only a stem cell transplantation can save Eva's life. So far, no suitable donor for the young mother has been found worldwide.

Large stem cell typing campaign in Stuttgart

That's why Eva's family posted the website www.ich-liebe-meine-mama.de where Eva's husband, her mother, her sister and many more explain why they do not want to lose Eva. Her sister writes there: "My big sister Eva is 24 years old, she is my role model, my prop, my girlfriend and mom of my lovely little niece - and very ill She suffers from blood cancer and desperately needs a donor Although she is my sister I can not help her, but maybe you can, and so save her life and that of many more people. "

Every fifth blood cancer patient can not find a donor

Every 16 minutes, a person in Germany receives the devastating diagnosis of blood cancer . Many patients are children and adolescents whose only chance of recovery is a stem cell donation . But every fifth patient can not find a donor.

To help Eva and all the other patients, Eva's friends, together with the DKMS German Bone Marrow Donor Center, plan an action to attract new potential stem cell donors .

On March 22, 2015, a large stem cell typing campaign will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart from 10 am to 4 pm.

Anyone who registers can be Eve's lifesaver and a chance of survival for many other people who have leukemia.

If you would like to go to another appointment in another city, or would like to register online as a donor, you will find all the information here: www.dkms.de/de/spender-werden.
