Help Save A Life

Four year old Michaella, a Franklin Square resident, was diagnosed with MDS leukemia 2 months ago. This brave little girl needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. Just a quick swab of your mouth and you may be the perfect match!

This family is from the Cathedral of Saint Paul and at this time they are dealing with a situation that is a parent’s worst nightmare. Their youngest daughter Michaella (just turned four years old) was recently diagnosed with MDS Leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. Her parents, siblings or relatives are not a match

therefore we need to find a candidate as soon as possible. As you can understand the expense through this ordeal is so great, that the family also needs our help with money. Please help save Michaella by getting tested. Just a swab of your inside cheek can determine if you’re a match. The procedure is a simple process of just giving blood.

    G’day Christos,
    first of all, it’s great to see that you’re offering your support for this little girl, hope they get lucky and find a match.

    Thanks for all your well wishes for Christmas and the new year, apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I only got back today and catching up on everything (mainly an overloaded inbox), just is just a quick hello and wishing you and your family a fantastic 2008.

    regards
