A Call 4 Action is bringing help to one Rio Grande Valley girl.

Calls to donate blood and blood platelets are continuing to pour in for little Lourdes "Lou Lou" Reyna.

Action 4 News first reported that the 11-year-old girl is battling a rare form of leukemia.

Her need for blood platelets is great, because she's fighting pneumonia, a nasal infection and cancer.

On Thursday, doctors are supposed to infuse Lou Lou with white blood cells.

Action 4 News will keep you updated on her condition.

In the meantime, anyone who would like to donate blood platelets to Lou Lou are asked to call (956) 263-1655.
