The message below came from a friend of mine, whose nephew was diagnosed with Leukemia. Let's help him if we can. Let the world is filled with love -让世界充满爱
亲爱的朋友们：
你们好。我有一个侄子，他的名字叫做Steven Pro。 现在，他非常需要你的帮助。
Steven今年只有２２岁，却在三年前不幸被诊断出患有白血病。两年来，他强忍着痛苦坚持化疗，勇敢的与病魔斗争。然而，２００９年６月１日，他的癌症又复发了。
为了挽救他的生命，我们唯一能做的，也是我们唯一的希望，就是在最短的时间内为他进行骨髓移植手术。然而，现在我们还没有为steven找到配型合适的骨髓捐献者! 如果捐献者为亚裔，成功的机率会更高，但是来自任何族群的任何人都有可能成为合适的捐者。仅仅在亚裔社区寻找捐献人是远远不够的，我们需要更多更多的亚裔志愿者，通过检测找到可以挽救Steven生命的人。留给我们的时间只有２－３个月了。Steven已经开始进行他的化疗，并依然充满信心，等待着合适的骨髓。今天，我们万分急切的需要你们的帮助。
Steven需要进行骨髓移植。如果你的配型合适，在你捐献骨髓之后，你的身体可以自我恢复，如同献血一样，很快填补缺失的骨髓。这个对于你来说小小的损失，可以拯救一个生命，一个家庭，拯救steven。
如果你想帮助他：
请登陆 www.onematch.ca 网站。如果你现在不在加拿大，请联系红十字会，了解如何进行骨髓捐献。进入网站后，点击今天加入OneMatch ( click here to join Onematch today)。完成第一步 Information package，填写个人信息。8-10日之内，我们将与你取得联系，对你的唇底海绵组织取样并检测。通过检测我们将决定是否有人需要移植你的骨髓。如果我们联系了你，请考虑接受骨髓捐献，因为你的力量可以挽救别人的生命。
请告诉你的家人和朋友，请让他们也登陆 OneMatch. ca 并注册成为其中一员。你的贡献也许不仅挽救Steven的生命，也可以其他白血病患者带来生的希望！
最真挚的感谢，

Dear Friends,
I have a nephew named Steven Pho who needs your help.
He is 22 years old and was diagnosed with Leukemia 3 years ago. For 2 years, he went through painful chemotherapy, and as of June 1, 2009, the cancer has returned.
As our last resort and only hope for life, he desperately needs a bone marrow transplant, because without it, he will not live. Our mission and our plea is to find a matching donor for Steven. A donor of Asian descent would be most likely; however, anyone from any ethnic background can help because anyone can be a match for Steven. The chances of finding a matching donor is smaller in the Asian community; therefore, we need as many volunteers of Asian descent as possible to get tested to raise this probablility. The time frame we have is short (2-3 months). He has already started his chemotherapy again and is desperately waiting for a matching donor, so we urgently need your help today.
What he needs is the bone marrow of a matching donor. When you become a donor, your own body will replace the extracted bone marrow similar to donating blood. It's a small sacrifice to pay in order to save a life, to save a family, and to save Steven.
Here's how you can help:
Go to the website www.onematch.ca. If you reside outside of Canada, please contact the Red Cross association to find out how you can donate bone marrow. At the website, click on here to join OneMatch today. Complete the Step1 Information Package. Within 8-10 days, you will be contacted to do a buccal (inner cheek) swab test Through the swab test, they will determine if you are a match to anyone needing a bone marrow transplant If you are contacted, please consider to accept to donate because you have the power to save someone's life.
Please continue to tell your family and friends and ask them to register at OneMatch. ca. Your contribution may not only help to save his life, but many other lives that are in jeopardy waiting for their last hope.
Forever grateful
