A- is not a very rare type in the West, but here they call it a "foreigner blood type".  It seems that only foreigners, and Filipinos with foreigner parentage have it.  I am A- and will contact them.  Last time I donated for an expat in Cebu I donated at the Iloilo Red Cross and the guy almost died waiting for the blood. Took the Red Cross 3 or 4 days to figure out how to get the blood to Cebu.  Crazy, but welcome to the Philippines.  :tiphat:

Anybody know these people in person?  I contacted him the night I saw this and he acted very excited to find a donor...then yesterday no contact. I texted him to ask if he still needed blood and got no reply... seems odd... hope she is ok.

In my experience with dengue (3X), 7,000 platelet count 2 days ago is very critical. Either she already got a donor transfusion or she doesn't need it anymore.

Its the Philippines. The person who sent request is not a member. It could be they have no load. Could be a lot of things but in my eyes we can not ignore requests for help and also there is a direct number to the hospital assuming it is correct.

What more can we do ?
