Adam reached everyone with his smile and optimism through social media, where we all got a small window into what the struggle was like for this young father of three.
Through social media and the hashtag #Hope4Adam, Krief’s campaign reached the hearts of hundreds of thousands of viewers which inspired thousands of bone marrow donors. Adam would share photos of both good times and bad. The campaign went went viral and celebrities such as Mayim Bialik and Kim Kardashian wrote about him on their social media accounts.
Krief found a bone-marrow donor in December – in fact seven matches were found, and seven lives were saved through the #Hope4Adam campaign and donor drives which were organised for him.
“This is what cloud 9 looks like … I’m so grateful to let you all know that a donor has been found,” Krief wrote at the time
Adam’s family left this heartfelt tribute to him as well as to all those who knew him and heard about him.
“Adam. To the man, the tzadik, who touched the hearts and the lives of all of us. Who united us. Who gave us a reason to come together. To fight. To pray. To love. It’s only fitting that your name is Adam. You represent what it means to be a man. A good man. A strong man. The man we all strive to be. You have left this earth physically, but have left a little piece of you, your goodness, your unwavering will to live, within all of us. You have become our son, our father, our family, our friend. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. Thank you for being you. To know you is to love you. And we love you.
Adam united us all and will continue to do so! The family is touched by all of the love and prayer their son has received from all over the world.
