Today, we’re sharing a story from reader Bonita O. in Mandeville, Louisiana.
“I’m currently in relapse with AML, a form of leukemia. I’m living with my sister/caregiver away from my home in Arkansas. I’m lucky to be scheduled for a transplant next month. One thing that I’ll need is platelets. I know just a few people in the area. My nephew’s wife put out a request for platelet donors … quickly, people that were total strangers to me have stepped up to donate—not once, but multiple times. It has renewed my faith in humankind at a time when so much of what we hear about is selfishness and greed!”
