A MOTHER from Labuan urgently needs RM90,000 for a bone marrow transplant to save her life.

Only seven months after chemotherapy for leukaemia, Ainun Muin’s cancer has relapsed.

She was diagnosed with acute leukaemia in November 2021.

“The doctor told me that chemotherapy is no longer effective for me.

“Only a bone marrow transplant can save my life.

“At the moment, all I can do is wait for a bone marrow match,” said Ainun in a statement.

She said her husband, a contract worker, earns about RM5,000 a month.

“But after deducting living expenses, rent and other costs, we don’t have much savings.

“Although our three children are adults, only our eldest son is working. He earns RM1,500 a month.

“We spent a considerable amount of money on my treatment last year.

“Our family is truly facing financial difficulties.”

CCEP Foundation group chief executive officer Yee Poo Yoon said two suitable bone marrow donors had been identified.

“We want to raise RM90,000 to provide enough funds for the transplant.

“We must complete the transplant before Ainun’s physical condition deteriorates.

“Otherwise, even with a suitable bone marrow match, it will be too late to save her life,” said Yee.

Donors should indicate that their contribution is for Ainun Muin.
