remember JASMINA, the sweet little girl i posted about that had the aggressive leukemia and needed a matching donor to save her life? well…she found not only one match – BUT, TWO!!! i am so happy. thanks to everyone who went out to the bone marrow drives. the news is a little old, but important nonetheless!!!

if you are in the NEW YORK CITY AREA tomorrow, APRIL 1st…please, please, please go and get swabbed to see if you would be a bone marrow donor for JASMINA. it could save this beautiful 6 year old girls life.
the process literally took less than a minute. i was in and out in under 10 minutes. you fill out forms, get swabbed and then you’re done!
take a look at the drive from SUNDAY that i attended. we gathered the troops and headed out early.
*in the cab, JASMINAS commercial was on.
*AMNTM has nothing on this girl!
*1: after you meet the specifications of being a donor, you fill out your information.
*2: get swabbed, easy breezey!
*3: DONE! then you take a picture! we were all half asleep. 10 am is early for sunday!
*some of us were really not happy about being up so early, but we did it!

Lekemia is a very cruel disease and I am happy that this little girl has the will to fight it now that she has not one but two matching donors. Some kids watch superheroes like Batman or Superman on t.v., but this little girl and her donors are true heroes.
