Thread: A- Blood donations needed in Chaing Mai

From FB

Can't really come to grips that one of my best friends of nearly 7 years is in intensive care in Thailand...whenever she needed me I was always there and now I can't even do anything!! If there is anyone in Thailand now PLEASE READ and SHARE help anyway that you can!!!! Sending my love to the Hill's too!!!

****CALLING ALL TRAVELLERS IN CHIANG MAI OR COMING TO CHIANG MAI IN THAILAND*****

Help is needed. Yesterday my friend and I were out for the day when Lucy suffered a an accident being hit by a car whilst on a moped. She is now in intensive care and has had emergency surgery but is needing blood transfusions.

Negative blood is rare in Thailand and sourcing the blood is difficult.

If anyone is around and is ****A NEGATIVE**** blood type please can you contact myself on Facebook, call me on +61 484346507 or head to Maharaja Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital and say it is to be donated to LUCY ANNE HILL at RAJAVEJ HOSPITAL.

I understand it is your holiday but this is my friend. It doesn't take long and it will do a great thing. My friend wore a helmet and did nothing wrong.

If you're around and unsure please get tested.



Maybe someone can help

Family in plea for rare blood to help gap year graduate fighting for her life in Thai hospital after moped crash.

Family and friends of 21-year-old Lucy Hill, from Bury, have made a desperate international appeal to help find the rare blood she needs after suffering a broken pelvis and brain haemorrhage.

Lucy, arrived in Bangkok to start her trip of a lifetime just six days before a car collided with her moped on Saturday afternoon.

She was rushed to Rajavej Chiang Mai Hospital and has since had three blood transfusions, as well as being fitted with titanium plates in her pelvis.



Lucy urgently needs more transfusions after she was left suffering with anaemia following the surgery, but there is a shortage of ‘A Negative’ blood in Thailand.

Her doctors say fewer then one per cent of Thai people have ‘negative’ blood types so her family and friends have launched a social media campaign to try and find Western travellers or ex-pats who may have the same blood type.

She is expected to receive another pouch of blood on Monday, but it is a race against time to find more supplies.

Good luck.

Severe head trauma, 3 transfusions already and in need of more blood. It's looking ominous.

If I was there and could provide, I wouldn't hesitate
