Katinka Rambert-Cadré was the guest of the C à Vous set a few days ago. The mother of 3-year-old Joseph gave a moving testimony before calling for help.
A sad story. Katinka Rambert-Cadré is the mother of Joseph, a little boy of three who needs help. He is affected by a bone marrow cancer and after more than two years of treatment and 793 chemotherapies, he learned terrible news on January 4th. During an appointment with the doctor, in order to recover the last blood test of the little boy, Katinka Rambert-Cadré saw her life go by. “We were called in, without our son, and we know what that means so even before we heard the word ‘relapse’, we already knew that was it.“, she confided on the antenna of BFMTV before adding: “It was a huge shock for us“. Invited from the set of C to you afterwards, the mother of the family took advantage of this interview to call for help. “There is a real urgency, we believe in it, but we need a huge mobilization“, she said. An unbearable situation for her, who hopes to be able to help her son as soon as possible.
She was heard. The testimony of Joseph’s mother upset Internet users, who quickly told his story on social networks. They were able to count on the support of many personalities who used their platform to get the message across. It was Raphaël Enthoven who was the first to write: “It’s fast and free, just spit some of your saliva into a tube and return it to a pre-stamped envelope.“. He was quickly followed by Samuel Etienne.”For Joseph, 3 years old, if you are between 18 and 35 years old, go and register“, can we read. The same goes for comedian Gad Elmaleh who said: “Joseph we are with you my friend. We will win”. For his part, footballer Presnel Kimpembe said “Force my friend Joseph”. A message also shared by the firefighters of France: “Joseph has the face of an angel with a look full of hope thanks to your donations… And the #firefighters of France did not remain insensitive to @Enthoven_R’s call for a donation from @moelleosseuse especially when Joseph is proudly dressed with a sweater in our imagee”. Tweets accompanied by the link of the site dondemoelleosseuse.fr so that Internet users can find information.
Before any action, it is essential to understand that registering as a bone marrow donor is a long-term commitment : we register today to increase the chances of recovery for all patients in France and around the world and perhaps give in a few months or years if we are compatible with a patient we do not know not.
Registration is done first online on the websitewww.dondemoelleosseuse.frwhere you have to answer a few questions quickly and to complete the process you have the choice between receiving a registration file at home with the documents to be completed and the saliva sample to be taken. Or make an appointment at a donor center for a medical interview and a blood test.It is this sample, saliva or blood, which will establish the “biological identity card” essential to know if one is compatible with a patient.
Joseph: how to help the little boy?
Katinka Rambert-Cadré’s appeal touched Internet users and many inquired. As explained on the website of the Federation of Associations for the Donation of Organs and Human Tissues, to be a donor, several conditions are required: you must be in good physical condition, not having contracted Covid-19 in the last 28 days and being between 18 and 25 years old. In addition, for a transplant to be successful, the marrow must donor bone and the patient’s body accept each other. To achieve this, the patient must be given bone marrow as identical as possible to his own.“, can we read. While the mother of the family assures that her daily life is atrocious, she explains however that Joseph only wishes to return home.He talks a lot, he says he’s not sick. He assures us that he is healthy and can go home. He has only one desire, it is to be at home“, she had concluded, very upset.
