previous post from MARCH 2009
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!
HELP!!! – you could save JASMINA’s life!!!
i’m not sure if you’ve heard about my friend GISELA’s god-daughter JASMINA but, she is a precious 6 year old girl who has a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. she needs a bone marrow donor or in 2 months this disease will take her life.
it’s important that everyone attend a drive if possible and do a simple cheek swab to see if you are a match. 2 out of every 10 patients will receive the transplant that could save their lives, but it’s even harder for minorities to find a match - WHICH IS WHY ITS IMPORTANT FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY TO GET INVOLVED.

RIHANNA, PAUL PIERCE and KELLY ROWLAND have all been touched by this adorable little girl and have helped to get the word out
THE NEXT DRIVE IS:
Sun. March 29, 11-4pm
HARLEM, NY: Harlem Children’s Zone
35 E 125th Street, New York, NY 10035
i’ll be there with friends. you should come too and bring your crew. i know a lot of you or super bloggers, so please please please spread the word. you could end up saving this wonderful girls life!!!
