Can't Pay we'll take it away Delroy Anglin needs your help to find a donor







Hi folks. Ok, this is my first post in quite some time but I felt compelled to post a message appealing for folk to rally together to help a very nice guy that many of us have seen on the TV series "Can't pay we'll take it away".

Delroy always came across as the sort of chap that , given hobsons choice!, most of us would prefer to be knocking on our door in relation to "financial issues"!. He does a job as a court debt collection agent that often  attracts a lot of abuse ...which he always deals with amicably :-).

In November last year Delroy sadly discovered he had developed Leukaemia and indeed is currently in the care of the Royal Marsden hospital.

Delroy NEEDS A BONE MARROW donor IMMEDIATELY!
Can you or anyone you might know from the African Caribbean community help find him one URGENTLY?

If you can could you please contact the Africa Caribbean Leukaemia Trust via their website
Thanks people . Let's hope his search is successful :-)

Best of Luck Delroy. We are all with you my friend :-)

ACLT Bone Marrow and Organ Drive





Volunteers from the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust will be out on the streets of Leeds trying to recruit bone marrow, blood and organ donors. *Bone marrow and organ transplant matching is racially specific and charity raises awareness and recruits potential donors from all
ethnic backgrounds but particularly target the black, mixed race and Asian communities. The ACLT will be trying to register as many donors as possible in the hope that the Leeds and Yorkshire community will support
their efforts to save the lives of leukaemia and blood related cancer/disorder patients and those in need of a organ/s transplant.

African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust (ACLT) may be forced to close :-(

.


Launched 15 years ago in Croydon, south London, the founders of the ACLT Orin Lewis and Beverley De-Gale made a commitment after their son Daniel De-Gale was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1993.


Since then, they have assiduously encouraged ethnic minorities and those from mixed-race families to register as bone marrow donors as there are less than three percent of potential ethnic minority donors on the UK Bone Marrow Register, despite the prevalence of leukaemia amongst these groups.

Also in this press release is the news that another charity , the "Mission Dine Club" is also facing the same fate!.


Come on folks, this is really awful and sad news and, after reading today about the owner of Newcastle United blowing £1 million in two hours whilst gambling(?), I can't beleive that out there somewhere is someone with a few quid to help keep these worthwhile chairites open.


Remember. "Charity is the queen of all virtues"!
