A bone marrow transplant can save the life of eight year old Miri<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

She is only eight years old. Her parent try to smile when she talks of what she wants to be when she grows up. But it\u2019s so hard.  You see, Miri is not well and only a bone marrow transplant can save her life. To be successful, a genetically matching donor must be found. With the transplant, Miri will someday become a Mommy. Her children will, in turn, mature and produce grandchildren for Miri –  generations\u2026eternity. But without the transplant, \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezer Mizion, the largest Jewish registry worldwide has saved the lives of so many cancer patients around the globe. A drive was recently held in NY and NJ where thousands made their way, in the rain, in the cold, to the Ezer Mizion stations in order to \u2018Swab for Miri\u2019. As the drive progressed, Ezer Mizion received requests from more precious members of the Jewish nation \u2013 two in Flatbush, two in Lakewood, one in Buffalo \u2013 who were desperately waiting in hope and prayer for the genetic match that will mean Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jews rallied. Busy mothers maneuvering the crowds with double strollers. Fathers trekking to the stations late at night after Evening Prayers. In twos and in threes. Another and another and another. Thousands!  Closing time came and went, virtually ignored.    How could we close when more people, so very tired after a long day, were detouring away from a relaxing cup of coffee in a warm home? Instead they were heading toward the still bustling stations to save the life of another!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
