BIG Trouble with Donor Drives
The blood banks and bone marrow donor programs are now completely TERRITORIAL. You never know where a match will come from geographically, yet they "brand" themselves in an area and they won't promote saving the life of a multiracial person. Everything seems so insignificant in comparison. Shame on them.

Are you saying that a blood bank and/or bone marrow donor program refused to help find a compatible donor for a multiracial person who will die without a bone marrow transplant?
ReplyDeleteWhy not ask our members to go get tested? There must be someone out there with compatible bone marrow. We are running out of time!
Yes, two blood donor banks told us they have "everything covered." That's not possible. If we only brought in one person, they could be the one right match. Everyone over the age of 18 should be tested to be a donor, which is what we have been encouraging our members to do for the past 22 years. PLEASE contact us if you would like more information.
