I am a bit late getting to this due to being busy and not checking my e-mail, but Brian Jeollanam-do has been getting the word out about an expat living in Korea who was diagnosed with leukemia and is in need of B- blood:
By now news of Michael Simning has probably reached you on Facebook. Mike—owner of Gwangju’s Underground Grocers and The First Alleyway, host on GFN 98.7 FM, a “beacon of Gwangju’s foreign community,” husband, father, and all-around great guy—was diagnosed with leukemia and is in urgent need of B- blood, a type especially rare among Asians. Reaching out to South Korea’s diverse expatriate communities to find matches is of utmost importance.
There are restrictions imposed by the Korean Red Cross on who can donate blood—impositions found throughout the world—something learned earlier in the year during another blood drive in the expat community, and written about by Roboseyo in an important post in April and summarized again last week.
