Promo Poster Latino Hispanic Recipient

Little Isaiah was just five years old when he was diagnosed with leukemia. His doctors told his parents that the only known cure for Isaiah was a marrow or cord blood transplant.

Because Hispanics and Latinos are underrepresented on the registry, Isaiah’s parents worried that a donor could not be found in time to save Isaiah’s life. His doctors turned to the Be The Match RegistrySM to find someone like you— someone willing to give a small part of himself so another can live. Nearing two years posttransplant, this little boy is alive and well, continuing to be a blessing in his parents’ lives. Isaiah says, “My father told me that getting a transplant was like sharing something really special.” Now Isaiah can grow up to share his gift of life with the world.
