Contact with the donor -Jeffrey

After a year from the bone marrow transplant, we have a chance to contact the donor.  We were waiting to hear.  Evidently, he was waiting to hear from us, too.  This wonderful donor's name is Jeffrey from Minnesota.

Jeffry sent Jason e-mail earlier this year,  and the following week, he called us!
He works for Be The Match - bone marrow registry organization! As much as we were excited to get to know him, he was happy to know Jason was doing well. What a nice man!!!

He said even though he works for the Be The Match, not everyone in the company gets to be a donor (I think the odds to be a donor is 1 in 1000).  A lot of people were happy that Jeffry and Jason got to talk finally. 

What a way to give a chance to live!  I am thankful for Jeffry because Jason is getting better and leukemia free because of Jeffry, and our boys will have a father for a long time.  I hope we get to meet him and thank him in person someday. 

Here is the web site for Be The Match.  If you have not register as a donor, here is the way you can save a life!
