Subject: Please Help Save our Daughter

Our 18 month old daughter Nirali Naik has been diagnosed with a rare type of Leukemia. The only hope for her survival is a bone marrow transplant from an Indian donor.

Being a minority community in US, finding a bone marrow match is very rare (unlike blood group matching). The only way to improve the chances of a match and Nirali's survival is to sign up for a simple test to check your marrow type. The test for marrow match is very simple - an oral swab!. And it is absolutely FREE for minority races. If a match is found then a simple procedure is performed on donor to draw the bone marrow and there is no long term effect.

Please visit http://savenirali.com find out how you can help.

To register as marrow donor you can call Asian American Donor Program at 1-800-593-6667 and they will send a test kit at home. Or you can take appointment and visit one of the locations of national registry (marrow.org) . You can also attend a drive at various locations, see upcoming drives. You can help and we desperately need it. Please help Nirali and Indian community at large. Please pass on this message to everyone you can to raise the awareness of the situation.

Please consider saving a child’s life. There is no bigger gift you can give to anyone.

Thank you Rucha & Jignesh (Nirali's parents)
