Review for Asian American Donor Program, Alameda, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

'Hope' is a word often politicized and abused in our diverse society, but when it refers to saving a human life from a tragic, often fatal illness, it carries a great more meaning and import. When a patient receives a diagnosis of a life-threatening blood disease, they need to have hope that someone somewhere out there may have the answer, the desire and capacity to offer the gift of life. For over twenty years the Asian American Donor Program has provided a vital service and space for realizing that precious gift, and given hope to many Asian and Pacific Islander Americans who otherwise may have had little or none. The tireless efforts of their wonderful, dedicated staff and enthusiastic volunteers to lend comfort and support to those diagnosed, while educating and registering thousands of potential bone marrow donors through countless drives and events have ultimately saved lives. Hope indeed lives and breathes throughout this vital, irreplaceable, life-affirming organization.
