Jasmina Anema, who lives in New York City, is suffering from a rare and aggressive form of leukemia, and requires a bone marrow transplant.

 

Without one, it is unlikely that she will survive much more than a month from now.

That task is made all the more difficult because Jasmina is African-American, and African-Americans are under-represented in worldwide donor registries.

You can make a difference.

In the Dallas area, you can join a blood marrow drive to help Karen Mellow Stock, a 40 year-old mother, daughter and wife suffering from lymphoma; doing so will help Jasmina as well. The drive will take place:

Sunday, March 29, 2009
12:00 PM-05:00 PM
NorthPark Center Mall
(Lower Level by Dillard’s)
8687 N. Central Expressway
Dallas, TX, 75225

In addition, there are two other drives taking place in Boston and New York City:

BOSTON DRIVE
Sunday, April 5th
11:00 AM-4:00 PM
YMCA
316 Huntington Ave
Boston, MA

NYC DRIVE
Sunday, March 29, 2009
11:00 AM-4:00 PM
Harlem Children’s Zone
35 East 125th Street
NYC, NY
