My Nonprofit Reviews

I am a stem cell transplant recipient. My match was found through Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation. I always wanted to meet my donor but never thought that meeting my donor would change my life to the extent that it has. Gift of Life facilitated that meeting and has done so much more! The Foundation introduced us in June of 2015 at a big Gala. It was magical. Gift of Life not only gave me the chance to live but it gave me a whole new support group, set of friends and family. I look back and think, "wow there really is a silver lining to a near death experience". The silver lining is this -- GOL and my donor have become part of our family. I see just how hard the Foundation works to raise money and find donors I love being a part of it (Everyday I wish that I could do more).
Gift of Life left such a profound impression on our youngest daughter (a junior at the University of Florida) that she immediately wanted to find out how she could get involved. She is representing Gift of Life at Florida through the Campus Ambassador program. She started a new club on campus, "Gators Give Life". She has swabbed over 1,000 students and through her work 2 matches have been found. Gift of Life is spreading the word that donors are ALWAYS needed. GOL is working hard to expand every avenue to get donors and the funds to support the incredible expenses that go along with the process from start to finish. I can't say enough positive things about this organization.
