Sarah

Sarah is a charismatic and fun-loving bubble tea connoisseur, curator of eclectic Spotify playlists, designated airport driver, and lumpia maker.  Her brothers are her best friends, and family means everything to her. She was also a professional violinist until she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a blood cancer.

She was first diagnosed in 2018-just a week after going on a first date with her partner who has stood by her side since.

She finished her treatment in 2019, but relapsed in 2020.  Sarah needed a matching stem cell donor to save her life.

Because Sarah is Filipino (Kapampangan/llocano), her matching donor would most likely be Filipino, too.

Sarah found her match and had a transplant in May 2021.  She is home, doing well, and recovering.
