Hi! My name is Kyle. I’m four years old and I have aplastic anemia.

My name is Kyle and I am four years old. My favorite things in the whole world are fish and sharks and whales. Maybe one day I will get to swim next to a great white shark! My favorite game is Angry Birds, and I am really good at it. I love super heroes, too!  And I love my baby sister, who is only eleven months old. My parents always tell me my birthday is a really lucky day because I was born on 7/7/07.

I hope you will help AADP and me to find someone who will be my lucky match!

AADP is faced with the challenge of finding and enrolling committed individuals into the Be the Match Registry. It is our goal to give the chance to register to everyone who is able and willing– especially in the minority community.

It costs $100 in administrative and lab fees to enter one donor into the Be the Match Registry. This cost is now paid for by a combination of donations from the community and a grant from HRSA. However, these funds are not inexhaustible. We need more help from the community and individuals like you to continue to make donor registration accessible to everyone.
