How to help
How can I personally help?
Become a potential bone marrow donor
Patients who are being treated for leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood diseases are among the most frequent users of donated blood and stem cells from blood and/or bone marrow. By donating your blood today, you can save somebody's life tomorrow!
Buy promotional goods
During the Ana Rukavina Foundation's campaigns, you can show your support for the cause by buying some of the Foundation's promotional materials.
Pay money directly into the Ana Rukavina Foundation account
By donating money today, you can help the Ana Rukavina Foundation develop the voluntary bone marrow donor Registry, establish the cord blood bank, support the patients and their families, and inform the Croatian public about the Foundation's activities.
How else can I help?
Participate in the Foundation's events
Throughout the year, the Ana Rukavina Foundation organizes many events in Croatia. Follow the news on our web page and join us! The goal of our campaign is to collect blood samples for tissue typing and raise funds for the further development of the voluntary bone marrow donor Registry. At our events you will have the chance to meet wonderful people, socialize with other patients and their families, and talk to people who have conquered their diseases. Be a part of our team as we work toward a common goal: to raise funds and collect samples for tissue typing.
Organize the drawing of blood samples for tissue typing and provide information to donors in your community or company
Every blood sample for tissue typing is invaluable to the Ana Rukavina Foundation. Every test tube with 7 mL of blood means one life. For more information click here.
