Imagine if this was your child. Kyle Crawford is a four year old little boy who is in urgent need of a bone marrow transplant. If you want to know more about him you can visit http://kyleneedsyou.org but right now I want to give you the pertinent information:
Kyle is a half-Chinese, half-Caucasian 4-year-old with aplastic anemia – a condition where the body does not produce enough new blood cells and is fatal within six months without a bone marrow transplant. Of the 9 million registered bone marrow donors, a match hasn’t been found for Kyle yet. We are searching for part-Asian, part-Caucasian donors to increase the likelihood of a match. Getting tested to be a bone marrow donor is as simple as swabbing your cheek.
A match for Kyle is out there somewhere. If you think you might be a potential match or know someone who might be, please help. You can spread the word via the Twitter and Facebook buttons on this post or share however you’d like. Let’s find Kyle a donor.
You can “Like” and follow Kyle’s cause through Facebook and Twitter. I’ll be praying to see a message come through that a match has been found.
