URGENT APPEAL
Please help a fellow Armenian - Irene Hamptian Katrandjian - who is suffering from an aggressive form of blood cancer. At this point, her only chance for a cure is to receive a stem cell transplant. In order to perform this procedure, the doctors need a donor who is a genetic match, but currently there are no registered donors that qualify.
Anyone can be a match. Joining the "Be the Match" registry is simple and requires only a cotton swab sample of cheek cells from the inside of your mouth. If you are a match, your participation could mean the gift of life to someone.
In order to join:
You must be 18-60 years old.
If you are a match, you will be asked to donate peripheral blood.
The recipient of the match, NOT the donor, incurs all costs
Because of her Armenian ethnicity, Irene has a better chance of finding a match from our community.
For more information on how to be a donor contact online at:
