QUICK NOTE
She& #39;s good right now, all things considered, and we have a lot of hope for this new medication!! But it doesn& #39;t make this any less sucky, and she has to be in there alone, because, you know… Plague.

If you& #39;re chosen as a match for someone, the donation itself is quick and easy. It& #39;ll probably be a one-time thing; it& #39;s rare to be a match for more than one person. But even if you don& #39;t match my mom, you could help save someone else& #39;s life! https://join.bethematch.org/ ">https://join.bethematch.org/">...

2. STILL DONATE, BUT LIKE, WITH MONEY INSTEAD
BTM uses financial donations to add new people to the registry (it costs $ to make sure all of your proteins and stuff are typed), to provide financial aid to transplant patients, and to support research! https://bethematch.org/support-the-cause/donate-financially/">https://bethematch.org/support-t...

Seriously, just scroll up and retweet the parent tweet.
I know times are hard, and if you& #39;re not in a position to donate in either fashion, I fully understand. A RT will help spread the word.

I know a free print isn& #39;t much, but right now, it& #39;s the best I can do. I just wanted to be able to offer *something* to say thank you for helping my mom (and people like her).

My mom is powerful and amazing and she& #39;s gonna whoop this thing& #39;s ass! She took her favorite pajamas to the hospital with her. If y& #39;all have any questions at all, I& #39;ll get back to them as soon as I& #39;m able. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź’–" title="Sparkling heart" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkling heart">
