Jonas Braun (25), sales engineer at PROWIN A+W, has donated bone marrow to a sick person<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”]

“Teststicks in – be a donor”.<\/strong><\/h3>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”]

It’s actually as simple as it sounds, reports Jonas Braun. The 25-year-old from Obernzell and employee of PROWIN A+W GmbH in Jahrdorf near Hauzenberg already registered as a potential bone marrow donor a few years ago during a typing campaign – and then actually got the chance to save a person’s life.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.prowin-aw.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PROWIN-AW-News-Jonas-Braun.png” title_text=”PROWIN-AW-News-Jonas-Braun” _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||”]

“You fit” came the message from AKB, Aktion Knochenmarkspende Bayern as the statewide offshoot of DKMS, at the beginning of this year. After a blood sample was taken by the family doctor and subsequent laboratory evaluation, a preliminary examination was then arranged, which also went smoothly. So nothing stood in the way of a bone marrow donation and for Jonas it was pretty quickly clear “I want to help this person”.<\/p>\n

As a sales engineer at PROWIN, Jonas normally works out quotations for special machines worth millions – now it was first a week’s (extra) vacation and putting in the needle himself: In preparation for the donation, he had to inject himself with medication to increase the number of stem cells in his blood.<\/p>\n

Usually, this loss of work for the employer is fully reimbursed by AKB – but not so with PROWIN: the company bears the majority of the costs itself by donating the amount to the non-profit organization. Extraordinary commitment of the employees must also be appreciated extraordinarily. And what’s more, every monetary donation to DKMS helps save lives.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off”]

“It’s not common for a company to cover the cost of a week’s vacation, on top of the 30 days of annual leave – but in this case, it’s natural for us”<\/h4>\n

Josef Freund,
Commercial Manager A+W Automationstechnik GmbH<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ _module_preset=”default”]

For Jonas, this week was not a “vacation” at all.
“The side effects of the donor preparation come as flu-like systoms and you just feel sick” recalls the 25 year old, “but that was also the worst and not worth mentioning compared to what you can achieve with a donation, namely giving a person new hope and possibly saving their life. I would definitely do it again.”<\/p>\n

The transplant itself finally took place on February 16 at a clinic near Munich and went smoothly for the donor. Jonas is already eager to learn how the patient is doing in the meantime, but he will have to wait a few more months for that information.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.1″ text_font=”Montserrat|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_margin=”||16px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||16px||false|false” border_width_bottom=”2px” border_color_bottom=”#000000″ locked=”off”]
