A young bride saves a life with a stem cell transplant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hodaya\u2019s wedding was to be in a few days. Her phone didn\u2019t stop ringing. But this time it wasn\u2019t a mazel tov call or even a call from the makeup lady. \u201cI\u2019m calling from Ezer Mizion Bone Marrow Registry<\/a>. I have exciting news for you.\u00a0 (What could be more exciting than my wedding, Hodaya recalled wondering.) A 69 year old lady is in need of a transplant to save her life and you have been found to be a perfect genetic match. Are you willing to donate?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes! Yes!\u201d she answered trying to make the mental leap from gowns and flowers to IV\u2019s and syringes. \u201cYes! But can it wait a bit? I really want to do it but you see, I- I-I\u2019m getting married in a few days and\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMazel tov!\u201d said the kindly voice on the phone. \u201cCall me when you\u2019re feeling up to it after the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Hodaya thought her head was awhirl before the call, it was now spinning out of control. What an opportunity! To save a life! She couldn\u2019t wait to share the news with her husband-to-be. And so it was almost immediately after the wedding, during the week of sheva brochos (celebration week), accompanied by her new husband, she began the procedure <\/a>that was to save the life of Ilana. Within one week, Hodaya began the creation of a new Jewish home and the re-creation of an elderly Jewish woman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the stem cell transplant was a success and a year later, as per international regulations, they met for the very first time. Amid hugs and kisses, the two cried with Ilana pouring forth words of gratitude for the gift she had received from a bride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
