We Are Counting on You !!

 Krissy Kobata was like any other fun- loving , 29 year old, up until 2008 when she was diagnosed with a  blood disorder called Myelodysplastic Syndrom ( MDS).  Typically MDS is diagnosed in people who are typically 65+, Krissy is a vibrant 28 year old woman! The only cure is a bone marrow transplant. Ethnicity is a key factor in finding a bone marrow match and krissy's family is of mixed heritage- Japanese and caucasian- also known as Hapa, has made it more difficult for her to find a donor match. More diverse donors are needed! Especially Hapa donors! As of yet, non of Krissy's family members have been a match and so we are asking for the help and generosity of others to save our Krissy's life!


Please if you haven't' registered as a bone marrow donor, do so as soon as possible. Her life and many, many others depend on people like you who are willing to help a stranger!
