MY AUNT IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF BLOOD.

A VERY RARE FORM OF BLOOD IS NEEDED.

SHE IS SCHEDULED FOR SURGERY ON MONDAY.

THE RED CROSS FOUND BLOOD AND SHE CAME FROM

NORTH CAROLINA TO FLORIDA (THE MAYO CLINIC) FOR THE

BLOOD WORK AND SURGERY.

BELOW IS WHAT INFORMATION I GAVE THE FAMILY MEMBERS

BUT I PRAY THAT ONE OF YOU MIGHT KNOW SOMEONE OR

SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP HER.

***THE NAME FOR WHOM YOU WOULD DONATE IS:::

MONA FAYE BLACK ***

THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR THE MAYO CLINIC — SHOULD

YOU RUN INTO ANY PROBLEMS TRYING TO GIVE BLOOD –

(904)956-3325 ***

THANKS FOR PASSING THIS ALONG!

_______________________________________

OK – SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW THIS – OTHERS NOT – BUT THIS IS WHAT

I’VE FOUND OUT FROM THE LAB AT MAYO CLINIC IN REGARDS TO

MY AUNT MONA FAYE IN NEED OF THE BLOOD.

SHE NEEDS A VERY RARE COMPONENT – THAT IS ‘USUALLY’ SEEN IN

POLYNESIAN PEOPLE AND THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE …. BUT SIBLINGS

AND OFF-SPRING ARE FIRST CHOICES.

THE COMPONENT IS CALLED JK3 ANTIBODY — PART OF THE JKA & JKB

NAMED AFTER THE ANTIBODY FOUND IN A CHILD HENCE THE NAME

- JONATHAN KIDD – THAT IS THE JK

ANYONE CAN POSSIBLY DONATE AT THE LOCAL BLOOD BANK – THEY WILL SCREEN – AND SEE IF THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS ARE THERE.

NO AGE LIMIT — BUT IF YOU TELL THEM YOUR MEDICAL CONDITIONS – THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TELL WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN DONATE AT ALL!

A MUST IS THAT YOU TELL THEM WHO IT IS FOR.

MONA FAYE BLACK

HER LAST BLOOD CAME FROM COLORADO AND SEATTLE IN DECEMBER.

THE BLOOD THAT WAS SENT TO MAYO FROM THE RED CROSS —- CANNOT BE USED BECAUSE THE FDA BUT A CAP OF EXPIRATION ON FROZEN BLOOD WHICH WOULD EXPIRE IN TEN YEARS — THAT BLOOD — EXPIRED IN 2006.

THAT IS WHY THE DESPERATE SEARCH.

THE LAB LADY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD LIKE AT LEAST 2 UNITS BEFORE SURGERY — AND THEN MORE FOR THE SURGERY.

JUST REMEMBER — THAT TO AT LEAST TRY — THEY WILL TELL YOU YES YOU CAN – OR NO I’M SORRY WE CAN’T USE YOURS!

LOVE AND PRAYERS TO ALL OF YOU ….. MAYBE YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO JUST MIGHT BE IN THE FAVORED CATEGORY!
