"Life is suffering. Emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual pain, are ingrained so deeply within me ever since Aplastic Anemia has gripped my life... Due to the many transfusions, I now have high iron levels that range around 12,000 when the normal range is 40-120... My whole family hurts. But we do this together and so the pain is minimized because it is shared. We have learned so much and our love is deep and still. Love, extreme love, is what motivates us to go on, growing stronger every second, and with every breath. I always tell my family that I am ‘Sadly Happy.’ That my kind of ‘happiness’ is unique in that I cry as I smile, because I feel so much love and yet at the same time I am shaken with fear that one day my loved ones will be stolen and unjustly taken away...I need a miracle. I want to live. A life is waiting for me to be taken firmly and lived out to its fullest. I want a child, a family, and a good man to share this all with. I want normal..." You can help give Hannah and other patients like her a chance to live a normal life by registering to be a marrow donor.

Darshana: With lot of support from my husband and my parents, I was ready to donate my marrow. One early morning, I went to the City of Hope to have the procedure. I was given general anesthesia and a small amount of marrow was extracted from my pelvic bone. I was sent home the next day and my marrow was sent to the waiting patient--a nine-year-old girl. She is a teenager now!
