It’s an act of love

My grandson’s new wife, only 24, who has a very rare blood type received an urgent request. She donates blood regularly for herself and others with her rare type and always knows where her supply is kept. The request: have you ever thought of stem cell donation, there is a very urgent need as we need a match. She took very little time to consider and, even though she is a new college graduate in a contract job, took over 4 days off work without pay to screen, test and then donate? We hope it was successful and are very moved by her selfless act. We already knew it, but now it’s official, he is lucky she chose him as her partner. Please seriously consider donation. It’s not just an act of life, it’s an act of love.
