I'll make this a monthly routine
On the 14th of every month, I'm going to post this 'ere post and this 'ere button:
It will allow anyone to make a donation to help offset the costs of my mom's PBSC transplant (stem cell transplant).
On December 9, 2008, my mom was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. The first quarter of 2009, mom went through three rounds of chemotherapy and came through like a champ. She has been in remission since the first round was complete, but her blood counts have never come back to normal. She's been told that a relapse is all but certain, and that a transplant is her best bet.
Thanks to the wonderful Be The Match donor registry, a perfectly matched donor has been found. This wonderful person, whoever and wherever they are, is willing to go through the somewhat painful process of injections and then the lengthy donation process to save a life - my mom's life.
Of all the places we imagine ourselves, this is not one we ever really consider, until it strikes.
My mother is my best friend, and has always been my source of strength and level-headedness, all the times I've needed it. This is the least I can do for her.
Please donate if you can, and register to be a bone marrow donor.
I can't offer you any tax benefits for your donation, but I assure that your gift will go directly to my mom's medical bills.
Please make whatever use of your own networks as you are comfortable. The more, the merrier, and every little bit will be accepted with my deepest gratitude. The smallest gift still sends a message of love and support that cannot be assigned any value.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
