A small child who will grow up because someone just like you cared enough to fund the DNA testing of his donor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

$50\u2026it can buy a lunch for two\u2026 a nice shirt\u2026a tank of gas\u2026or a child\u2019s life<\/strong>. Yes. For fifty dollars<\/a>, a tiny toddler with cancer<\/strong> can be genetically matched to a bone marrow donor<\/strong> and his life will be saved.<\/p>\n

For many cancer patients, a bone marrow transplant<\/strong> is their sole chance of survival. To be successful, both donor and recipient must share the same DNA<\/strong>. Ezer Mizion<\/a>, the largest Jewish Bone Marrow Registry in the world, has saved over 2500 lives of people around the world but too many are still waiting for the match that will mean life itself.<\/p>\n

Parents of tiny toddlers, whose mischievous giggles have long given way to a pathetic whimper, sit for hours in the pediatric oncology ward<\/strong>. Teenagers refrain from joining their peers who are planning their futures since, for them, there may not be a future. Young mothers and fathers clutch their kids tightly, praying so hard that these precious children will not have to grow up as orphans.<\/p>\n

Even the largest registry<\/strong> is not large enough. Your gift of $50 will help expand the registry.<\/strong> And then the phone at the home of one of these families may ring and a triumphant voice will announce: Yes! We have a match!<\/p>\n

Click on the links\u00a0 to share<\/a> the<\/a> joy<\/a> of families who had despaired of seeing the sun shine again. Donate<\/a> generously on #GivingTuesday<\/strong> so that other families may share that same joy!<\/p>\n
