Are you Laylah’s match?
Laylah is a bright, outgoing 4-year-old. She loves summer camping trips, days at the beach and playdates at the park. But her world was put on pause because of a rare illness. Laylah has aplastic anemia, a life-threatening condition where bone marrow stops producing enough blood cells, leaving her immune system extremely weak. Even a mild cold could send her to the hospital.
After learning she had no matches on the stem cell registry, she received ATG therapy, an intensive form of immunosuppressive treatment.
Laylah can be treated with a stem cell transplant, but she needs a match.
Join the stem cell registry in less than 2 minutes.
