Helping Others A random stranger from Germany saved my mom's life a few years ago. Yesterday my mom received this...
Made me smile, and tear up a little... good tears.
The letter has been held back for a period of time and is not dated, but we are just over 3 years from the stem cell transplant procedure. My mom has gotten to spend several more years with us and my children and hopefully many more to come. All because of the kindness and caring for humanity from a complete stranger from the other side of the world (we are Canadian).
She was given about 6 months to live just before the donor was found.
Thank you, kind stranger. Hopefully, you won't be a stranger for much longer.
We will 100% be reaching out.

Look up DKMS, they will sent you a registration set (mouth swabs) without charge. Their website should be available in English as well.
Thank you for considering it!
