Rebecca Salame is a beautiful, bright and bubbly 49 year old woman, living alone with her daughter in a small, unfurnished home in New Jersey. Rebecca is in dire need of a bone marrow transplant to survive. She has a rare disease called Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma / Mycosis Fungoides and Lymphatoid Papulosis. Her best chance of finding a genetically matched donor lies with those of Middle Eastern ancestry, particularly Lebanese Sephardic Jewish. However, there are lots of patients with many backgrounds, so everyone is encouraged to join the registry on Rebecca's behalf. Time is running out for her...please help us help Rebecca!!
A donor sponsored by Friends of Rebecca Salame has matched a 9 year old boy battling Inherited Erythrocyte Abnormality.
