Jessica was diagnosed with leukemia in April 2006, She was being treated with chemotherapy and doing okay until September when they told her the leukemia is back. Now she desperately needs a bone marrow transplant. Big problem, My husband is Hispanic and I am Caucasian...tough group to find a match from. SOO ~ We are targeting people that are at least 18 years old and are Hispanic / Caucasian mix to help Jessica ~ ~ but There is an incredible need for any minority to
get on the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry!!
WE WILL BE TESTING SATURDAY 10/14/06 FROM 1 - 4 AT our Home ~ 2955 NASSAU DRIVE, BROOKFIELD, 53045 ~
All it takes for the initial testing is filling out a form to become a part of the National Registry and swabbing the inside of your mouth with something that looks like a Qtip. If you are of minority or mixed minority descent, the testing may be free!!!!!!!!
Please keep in mind that you might not be a match for Jessica ~ but that you could help save someone's life!!!
PLEASE RSVP AS WE NEED TO HAVE ENOUGH SUPPLIES ON HAND ~ 262-366-5609.
We will have some food and beverages ~ even some prizes for the person who brings the most guests! I know we will have a good time for a great cause!! If you
are not able to make it on Saturday ~ you may call me, or email Penelope Stewart at penelope.stewart@bcw.edu or
Please go to http://www.marrow.org/HELP/Join_the_Registry/index.html
It may be possible for you to be tested via the mail!!
If you know of someone who might be a match for Jessica, please forward this to them. If you are not a match for Jessica, you might be a match for someone else, so please
get tested.
You literally could be saving someone's life! Thanks in
advance for your time ~ God Bless ~ Linda & Franco Villalobos 262-366-5609
