While my husband Kevin was on his way to pick up our daughter, who has mobility issues, from school, he received a phone call and hurried off, leaving her by the roadside.

By the time I heard the news, our daughter, Blanche, had been in a traffic accident and was seriously injured.

Without a transfusion, Blanche’s probability of dying was 100%. But her blood type is rare, only Kevin’s blood could save her life.

I urgently dialed Kevin’s number, begging him to come back and save Blanche.

To my shock, he refused without a second thought.

“Will you stop lying to me? Darlene Lopez’s daughter’s dog Buddy is missing. Do you know how important a pet is to a child? Can’t you have a little empathy? I’ll deal with Blanche’s tantrum later!”

But my daughter Blanche has no future.
