My Nonprofit Reviews

Though hospital regulations were strict due to the pandemic, I recently had the incredible opportunity to donate PBSCs through the Gift of Life Marrow Registry. I cannot begin to describe the awe and reverence that I felt while going through this process. Gift of Life supported me throughout and ensured that I was informed and cared for. More importantly, the registry gave patients hope. They facilitated the saving of a life simply by encouraging me to do a simple cheek swab a couple years ago. The numbing of human response to the pain of others has grown to tragic heights since the start of the pandemic, and it is especially important in this surreal time to look beyond ourselves. Whether you are interested in getting swabbed or not (and I highly recommend that you do), I urge everyone to fight against this personal and societal numbing. We cannot allow one person or one million people to just be another statistic.
