Welcome to the Icla da Silva Foundation Website

The mission of the Icla da Silva Foundation is to secure the highest possible quality of life for children and adults afflicted with leukemia and improve patient's access to life-saving bone marrow from volunteering, unrelated donors.  Your support is vital to the work of The Icla da Silva Foundation's efforts to help children and adults with leukemia. Together we will continue to touch the lives of many people affected by leukemia by providing patients with life-saving donors and their families with the needed assistance.

The Icla da Silva Foundation, a nonprofit organization under section 501(c) 3 of the IRS Code, was established in June of 1992, after the death of Icla da Silva, a thirteen-year-old Brazilian girl who had leukemia. She died after intense efforts by her family, friends and neighbors to find a matching donor. read more >>

Patients & Family

Understanding Your Disease & Treatment Options.

If you or someone you love is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or a genetic immune or metabolic disorder, gathering information can help you make choices about your treatment.

Turn here for treatment basics: bone marrow or cord blood transplant (BMT), clinical trials, questions to ask your doctor, plus the facts about diseases treated with transplant.

Donors & Sponsors

Not everyone who joins the Registry will be called to donate to a patient. If you are asked, a patient's doctor has selected you as the best donor. You may be the one to save a life.

Becoming a donor is a serious commitment. We will provide the information you need to make this important decision and will guide you through the donation process.
