Shobana

” I am Shobana Mallavaram and I am 28 years old. I am married and have a beautiful little girl of 2.5 years old.  I love cooking, watching movies, travelling and spending time with family. We live in TX.  I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, M5 sub-type in January 2016. I am undergoing chemotherapy and need a stem cell donor for a bone marrow transplant to help save my life.

Because I am South Asian (Asian Indian), there is no match for me in the existing registries, due to the lack of participation.”  “I want to watch my child go up to be a strong woman.  Please help me find a donor.”  Please register online and be a committed marrow donor http://join.bethematch.org/HelpShobana
