West Indians and Heartfelt Plea

heartfelt plea: Friends and community organizers have launched a desperate drive to find a stem cell match for a Mississauga woman with leukemia. Her best chance of success depends mostly on the very people least likely to respond: ethnic groups, particularly black, and 17- to 35-year-olds, especially men, according to The Star. Concerned that such donor drives are unheard of in the Caribbean and home countries of the optimal donors, organizers are embarking on a GTA-wide education drive centred on churches, social clubs and community organizations and This is an end-of-black-history-month story thats a matter of life and death and carving a mission of hope out of heartbreak and despair. OneMatch donor drives were held during black history month. One is scheduled 2-6 p.m. Sunday at the Delta Toronto Airport West hotel; another, on April 13 at Kingdom Life Ministries in Mississauga with others to come, at a rate of at least one a month.
