Be A Bone Marrow Donor

Hey Gang!

This is our Bone Marrow Donor Page which we will also call the Page of Life.  We'll list information about past donor drives that we host or co-sponsor with our partners here as well as updates from Be The Match.org.  If you have any questions about the bone marrow donor process please don't hesitate to call or email us, so we can give you the answers you're looking for.  There is also a link on the bottom of the page to our partner Be The Match.org. 

In 1997 Joey became a bone marrow transplant recipient after receiving a then new process called an autologous procedure.  This procedure uses the patient's peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) instead of a donor after they have been purged or washed.  Because Joey was an only child there was not a family match and unfortunately the donor registry has a shortage of donors especially minority registrants. That's why one of the core programs Faith Hope and Love Jesus, Inc. decided to focus on is this all-important life saving procedure. 

Thank you for supporting us with this very impactful area of our mission.  Join the registry today!  Many blessings!

  • How does the bone marrow donor registration process work?

    January 2013

    To join the registry as a prospective bone marrow donor is very simple.  How simple you ask, almost unbelievably simple.  During the registration process you will be given a small packet of items which consists of a form asking information about yourself, 4 long q-tip swabs and an envelope.  You begin by filling out the form, swabbing both your cheeks followed by placing your q-tips in the envelope and sealing it.  That’s it you are done.  No needles and no wait, just you doing your part.  The whole process takes about 15 minutes. 

    Faith Hope and Love Jesus has a vision to educate the general public about this life saving medical advance so that bone marrow donor registration will be as commonplace as donating blood is today.  Marsha has been on the registry since 1992.  Unfortunately, she has never received that welcomed call that she is a match that could save a life.  She looks forward to that call.  Our hope is that you will too.  Thousands of patients depend on bone marrow donors who can give them a chance for a cure. You have the power to save a life. You are a Swab away from saving a life. Join us. Get registered. Save a live.

    Cheers for Rachel and Jacob
    Rachel joined the Be The Match Registry® when she was a cheerleader in college and her campus hosted a “Get In The Game” recruitment event. When she received the call she'd matched to an 18-month-old patient named Jacob, she agreed to donate without hesitation. This summer, Rachel and Jacob finally met for the first time.

    Shortly after beating breast

    cancer, Keila was diagnosed

    with acute myeloid leukemia.

    A bone marrow transplant was

    her only option for a cure.

    Thankfully, Odalis was waiting

    on the registry.

  •    Bone Marrow Donation and Breast Cancer

    June 2012

    Bone marrow transplants were considered experimental for breast cancer patients in the 90's when Joey received his transplant.  There was a beautiful lady who visited Joey in January 1997 at UCONN during his transplant.  She was also a patient, a very special one because she was the first breast cancer patient at UCONN to receive a bone marrow transplant.  Joey was the first pediatric leukemia autologous bone marrow transplant at UCONN in 1997.  Since then we have seen thousands of lives saved from this very profound treatment.  Our hope and aim is for the bone marrow donation process to be as commonplace as giving blood. Remember you are just a SWAB away from saving a life. Join us. Save a life.
