Recently we were able to help Dmitry, a young man from St. Petersburg, who is studying to become a geologist. His disease first appeared back in 2011, when he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma. After numerous cycles of chemotherapy, he needed transplantation of his own stem cells, as well as maintenance therapy with an expensive new drug. Another option was to undergo transplantation from a donor, but a good match was not found in the donor regsitries around the world.
Unfortunately, Dima's disease recurred last year. But this time, a donor search found a few potential donors, and now Dima has a hope that lymphoma will finally be beaten. Thanks to your donations, we were able to contribute 2,000 euros to the donor search costs. We are so grateful to our supporters for giving Dima a chance to live!
If you would like to help more patients like Dima, join us on September 16th during the last Bonus Day of the year. All donations of $1,000 or less will receive a bonus of 30%. Mark your calendars and donate early, before the bonus funds run out. The Bonus Day starts at 9 am Eastern time, or 16:00 Moscow time. And if you tell your friends, we will have a chance to win extra awards for the most donors.
Thanks for your support!
