Could you be the one who saves Ezra’s life?
Ezra is a 22-month-old boy who loves the alphabet, music and his tricycle. He has a rare primary immune deficiency called Hyper IgM Syndrome. The only cure is a stem cell transplant. He needs to find a donor that is his perfect match.
That’s where Gift of Life comes in…and you! Gift of Life is a national, publicly available bone marrow registry and cord blood bank that serves patients all over the world for bone marrow transplants. And they are currently trying to find a match for Ezra and others like him.
Please join us Thursday, January 20th at 1pm EST for the Gift of Life’s ‘The Time is Now’ Twitter Party to learn more about Gift of Life and discover how easy (and painless) it is to become a potential donor. In keeping with the ‘time’ theme, Gift of Life will be giving away some very cool fashion watches during the party. They also will be announcing a very special offer for party attendees only — an easy way you will be able to get involved if you choose to do so. All it will take is a quick, easy and painless swab of your cheek!

Gift of Life began after Jay Feinberg was diagnosed with leukemia and told he would need a bone marrow transplant to survive. He had no idea that his personal journey would result in the establishment of a grass roots organization that would later save the lives of hundreds of patients in need. Gift of Life has since made over 2,100 transplants possible for children and adults.

I would love to know more on how to be checked to be a donor, if my insurance would pay for the procedure, and where it is done in OK. I don’t do twitter.
Thank you

Hi Kathie, I am forwarding your comment to Gift of Life, along with your email address. They could probably answer your questions best! ~Erin
