Why we do this

Meera waited nineteen months

“I was told my odds of a match were about one in twenty thousand, and that the registry simply did not have enough people who looked like me on it. The drive that found my donor happened because someone paid for a van, a technician, and four hundred swab kits. That is all it took. That is the whole story.”
