Dear Friends,
Sadly, we just learned that Ayelet Yakira Galena, our lovable one year old daughter, was recently diagnosed with a rare bone marrow failure disorder and will need a bone marrow transplant. We're searching for a perfect match and need your help.
Here are some ways you can help us out:
1) You and everyone you know can get your cheeks swabbed at the bone marrow drive taking place at the YU Seforim Sale this week (details below.)
2) If you think you are already in the registry, double check here: https://www.giftoflife.org/Public/quickcheck/default.aspx
3) Currently, Gift of Life (the Jewish bone marrow registry) does not have the funds to process all of the new registrants (each test costs $54) so consider donating to Gift of Life through our dedicated donors circle at: http://www.giftoflife.org/dc/Ayelet-Galena/blog.aspx
4) If you banked your child's chord blood and would consider donating it in the event that it is match- please be in touch with us at hindypoupko@gmail.com
5) Forward this email to everyone you know.
