Can You Help Danica??


This is Danica. You may remember that I have written about her before. She was diagnosed at the age of 28-she is now 31. As you can see in the picture, she has 3 fairly young children. She is a single mom, with not a lot of family support (again-don't understand that, but..). She now has chemo induced leukemia, she needs a bone marrow transplant. So far there have not been any matches. One of the ladies is putting together a bone marrow drive in Chicago (other ladies are doing this in other areas). Please click here to view more information, and PLEASE pass the information along to anyone that you think could help out. The drive is on September 27th -233 N. Harlem from 11-4.

It is my understanding that now they simply draw blood to check for a match. I would get tested if I could. Unfortunately anyone that has had cancer is not eligible.

PLEASE get tested if you can. Here are the eligibility requirements. Danica is fighting for her life! She has been in the hospital more than she has been at home. The treatments they are giving her are working for now, however her body is getting tired from these treatments. She needs a match to be found. PLEASE help her be around to watch her children grow up!!
