We provided the family with the financial assistance they needed to make the transplant possible.

“The fund helped us a lot. It allowed us to make sure we had transportation to and from Braxston’s appointments [to receive his bone marrow transplant].” -Amber Pack

Watch this 0:08 video of blood stem cell recipient Kristina sledding and laughing. It makes everything we do worthwhile.

Kayali needed a bone marrow transplant. Her siblings were tested and 11-year-old Makira was considered the best candidate to donate bone marrow…but the transplant center was 160 miles away.

When we were first introduced to Marelyn Espinal, she needed financial assistance. Her twin boys, diagnosed with sickle cell disease, were scheduled to receive a bone marrow transplant.
But she needed more. She was alone, afraid, and unsure of the outcome…

If someone could take just one thing off the list of things to worry about while I go through my cancer treatment, that would mean the world to me. The Icla da Silva Foundation did that for me.

Mark’s father received the same diagnosis many years ago. At that time, his father was considered too old for treatment. They sent him home to get his affairs in order, and he passed away 18 months later.

Since Elly’s brother was identified as her donor, both parents had to stop working for several months to be individual caregivers for their children.

Laneater had chills and a fever, so she went to the ER. After a brief assessment, they sent her back to the waiting room, but she passed out.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we were able to help Kristina travel back and forth to receive treatment.
