It’s needed to help save two-year-old Zainab, a South Florida girl who is battling neuroblastoma, a very aggressive form of cancer. 
 
Zainab’s blood is extremely rare because she is missing a common antigen that most people carry on their red blood cells. The antigen is called “Indian B” (Inb). For a person to be a possible match for Zainab, they must also be missing the Indian B antigen, or the little girl's body will reject the blood.  Locating people who are missing the Indian B antigen comes down to genetics.

•	Statistically, the only people who are likely to be a match for Zainab are people of Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent. Of these populations, less than 4% of the people are actually missing the Indian B antigen. 

To be a match for Zainab a donor must meet the following criteria:
•	Must be exclusively Pakistani, Indian or Iranian descent – meaning the donor’s birth parents are both              
           100% Pakistani, Indian or Iranian  
•	Must be blood type “O” or “A”
•	All donations for Zainab must be coordinated with OneBlood in advance to ensure the additional compatibility testing is performed. Visit https://www.oneblood.org/zainab/ for donation information.

OneBlood is working closely with other blood centers and the American Rare Donor Program (ARDP), an organization that searches the world for rare blood donors. So far, three matching donors have been located, including a donor that ARDP located in the United Kingdom, near London.  It’s the first time OneBlood has ever received an international donor for a local patient.  The other two matching donors are from the United States.

While it’s promising the three donors have been located, additional donors are needed.  Zainab will need blood transfusions for the foreseeable future.  To support her long-term blood needs, the search is on to find at least seven to ten compatible donors. OneBlood is sharing Zainab’s story in the hopes more people who meet the specific donor criteria will come forward to donate for the little girl.  

OneBlood is conducting all compatibility testing of potential donors.  So far, more than 1,000 local donations, as well as donations from other parts of the country have been tested and no additional matches have been identified. 

Media Tool Kit Available

OneBlood is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) community asset responsible for providing safe, available and affordable blood to more than 200 hospital partners and their patients throughout most of Florida, parts of Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina.  Generally healthy people age 16 or older who weigh at least 110 pounds can donate blood. To learn more about OneBlood visit www.oneblood.org.

Over the years, we have grown to over 125 plus vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh, local &amp;amp; healthy fruits and veggies, including Certified Organic produce, are the core of the market along with homemade and handmade foods and crafts. Fresh baked breads &amp;amp; pastries, homemade pickles, jams &amp;amp; jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole &amp;amp; native plants &amp;amp; trees are just some of the fantastic products available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A food truck court and tent vendors offer Crepes, Empanadas, Mexican food, German street food, Pierogis, Pizza, Paninis, Italian food and healthy options like, health smoothies, Acai bowls and salads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background:white"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;Each season we do our best to give back to the community by offering spaces for non-profits, schools and community groups. Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 13 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background:white"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;We are also proud that we were the first market in Lee County to offer Fresh Access Bucks to our EBT/SNAP customers. This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits &amp;amp; veggies at the market. A healthy community is a great outcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Over the years, we have grown to over 125 plus vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh, local &amp;amp; healthy fruits and veggies, including Certified Organic produce, are the core of the market along with homemade and handmade foods and crafts. Fresh baked breads &amp;amp; pastries, homemade pickles, jams &amp;amp; jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole &amp;amp; native plants &amp;amp; trees are just some of the fantastic products available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 13 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits &amp;amp; veggies at the market.

Over the years, we have grown to over 125 plus vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh, local &amp;amp; healthy fruits and veggies, including Certified Organic produce, are the core of the market along with homemade and handmade foods and crafts. Fresh baked breads &amp;amp; pastries, homemade pickles, jams &amp;amp; jellies, Gulf fresh seafood, homemade pet treats, handcrafted soaps, essential oils, local honey, made-on-site guacamole &amp;amp; native plants &amp;amp; trees are just some of the fantastic products available.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background:white"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;,serif"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;Open Sans&amp;quot;,sans-serif"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black"&gt;Since shopping and eating seem to go so well together, the market has endless options. A food truck court and tent vendors offer Crepes, Empanadas, Mexican food, German street food, Pierogis, Pizza, Paninis, Italian food and healthy options like, health smoothies, Acai bowls and salads.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Another way we give back is by offering the ability for our EBT/SNAP customers to shop for healthy and affordable food options. We are proud to say that 13 years ago, we were the first market in Lee County to offer ease of shopping for our neighbors.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

This program gives $40.00 extra to purchase Florida grown fruits &amp;amp; veggies at the market. A healthy community is a great outcome.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
