Save Nirali
Nirali is suffering from a rare type of Acute Lymphoblast Leukemia and needs a marrow transplant to be treated.
She needs a bone marrow donation from a Indian/South Asian donor. Since Indians are a minority race in USA, in the national marrow registry, there aren’t as many Indians registered and as a result, the possibility of a match is much less for patients of Indian origin. There’s no organized marrow registry in India either that we can look for a match in.
Visit Nirali’s website to see how you can help.
I would request all of you to put this request on your websites/blogs so that maximum number of people find out about this.
