Act as if everything depends on you; pray as if everything depends on G-d.” This quote summarizes my belief in Judaism, a higher power, and self-efficacy. I grew up donating blood every two months with my dad, so it was a natural fit for me to agree to a cheek swab at a Gift of Life donor drive back in 2002 at Temple Kol Ami Emmanuel in Plantation, Florida. I never thought about the registry again until Gift of Life contacted me to be tested as a potential match for a sick man in 2009.
