This brought a tear to my eye. Very nice thing he is doing. I feel for that lil boy. Where I work I don't see the kids very much since I work offsite but I see the billing side and how long these kids are in the hospital and what they undergo. It's very sad and it's very hard when I pull up some of these accounts and their name is in Red. this means they have passed away. I don't know these kids but their name but even almost 5 yrs later it hits me and makes me so sad.
Glad to see this kid is in remission and if anything ever happens his new lil baby sister is a donor match.

Props for this story being published. It kinda helps to hear something good w/all the ugly going on in the world.
