I think the biggest reason is regardless of culture, across the board, people don't know.

Then people say, "We don't do that in our culture." In fact, everyone says this, including whites, they just say, "People don't do it."

Then people do not understand the critical need and the shortages that affect certain communities disproportionately. Black people, like everyone else, do not understand the direct involvement ethnicity plays....... 詳全文

Then they buy into myths about the process.

Then they don't know how to register.

Then it's always someone else problem.

You can slightly reshuffle these views, but they are the most commonplace, and they all work together to compound the problem.

With a little conversation and education amongst each other, we can beat this. First we have to believe we can.

Shannon Saldana

Shannon Saldana I joined the National Marrow Donors Program a couple of years ago, and got the call this summer that I was a potential match. I ended up being the best match and had the honor of donating peripheral blood stem cells for a 59 year old man with chronic myelogenous leukemia in July. It was very touching to donate. Everyon......e involved from the NMDP to those at my site helping with all the communication and the actual donation were incredibly nice and respectful. I learned a lot in this process. It was virtually pain-free and one of the most rewarding experiences I have had. I encourage healthy people to join and help give the gift of life. It is more worthwhile than you can imagine. Eligible as a donor or not, always keep recipients in your thoughts and prayers. What donors experience is nothing compared with the experience of those who unfortunately make to the recipient list.
