Matt Fenster is a father of four young children, husband, son, and brother. He is a friend to many. He has worked endlessly to help his community in Riverdale, NY and beyond. Matt was diagnosed with AML - Acute Myelogenous Leukemia - in April 2010. He now needs a bone marrow transplant to save his life.
By making a contribution to the Matt Fenster Donor Circle, additional donors will be registered as potential bone marrow matches for people like Matt. The more donors, the better the chance of finding a match for people waiting for life-saving bone marrow transplants.
For every $54 dollars donated, a Bone Marrow Registration kit is processed and a potential donor is added to the national registry of bone marrow donors. Any amount you can give will have an impact on our efforts. From here you can now follow the prompts to help people like Matt:

Over the last several weeks, communities in the US and Israel have come together towards the common goal of "pikuach nefesh" - saving a life. If you have not had a chance to participate - order a kit online or attend a drive in your area. For complete details on all upcoming drives, visit the main Gift of Life website.
