“welcome refuge” for the children. Last year Frank and Melissa had
the opportunity to meet the children who had attended the camp in the past and
hear their testimonies, and to meet the children who were looking forward to
attending camp for the first time.

We also wanted to bring awareness to Be The Match, which manages the largest
marrow registry in the world and facilitates matching potential blood stem cell
and marrow donors with waiting transplant recipients. While we still don’t know
the cause or name of Ella’s condition, there are currently over 70 disorders
that can be treated by blood stem cell or bone marrow transplants. Joining the
Be The Match Registry means volunteering to be listed as a potential donor,
ready to save the life of any patient in need of a transplant. We hope joining
the registry is something you’ll consider.
