A 12-year-old boy from Shoham struck by a vehicle at the end of August is still fighting for his life in Sheba Medical Center. The family is calling on anyone with type O blood to step forward to make donations.

The child sustained a serious head injury and remains in a pediatric intensive care unit, on a respirator and life support apparatus.

The family requests that his name not be publicized, stating anyone willing to give a unit of blood on his behalf call 03-530-2633 or 03-530-2618, the Tel Hashomer Blood Bank. Hospital officials explain that while blood donations are welcome, the child in question in not in need of blood.
