For years, a status message has been shared again and again about a child with leukemia that needs the blood type B-RH(-).
The text has not changed. The same wrong number and name are still being given. It's about the following status post that is circulating on Facebook:

Please send this to as many people as possible: blood group B-Rh(-) is urgently needed for a child with leukemia; very rare blood group. Contact:515 250 700 Patrycja Szulc.
The fact check:
This is a chain letter based on real information. The original message comes from Poland and, according to ddwloclawek.pl, from a real call.
In 2015, Gazeta Wyborcza reported on a 9-year-old girl who had leukemia. Her parents launched an appeal to find a donor with the rare blood group B RH-, which they succeeded very quickly.
However, someone used this call to generate a chain letter that is still shared today and even made it to German-speaking countries.

The information about the girl with leukemia is no longer up to date and anyone who calls the number provided today will have to expect additional costs. This number and name were not included in the original call. But the name of the treating hospital is.
Nevertheless, this number 515250700 does not fulfill the suggested meaning, as Nieznany numer also shows.
Conclusion:
This blood type was actually searched for in 2015, but in Poland. The girl received the blood she needed.
Anyone who calls the number today will not receive any information about the child or about becoming a donor. On the contrary, the call can end up expensive. So she has nothing to do with this girl.
An old chain letter that always makes it onto social networks.
