A little girl was dying of cancer and her younger brother had a match for the bone marrow she needed. The doctors told him it was a matter of life and death. After he had the surgery, he asked the doctors how long he had to live. He thought if he gave his bone marrow to let his sister live he would die but he did it anyway. GMH - GivesMeHope

*** Random LoveGivesMeHope Story ***

When I was 16, I got pregnant.

When I told my boyfriend, he stayed with me. He put up with me, even when I screamed about how I hated my life, wanted to die or blame him for everything.

In my 8th month, I told him to get out. He still came to hold my hand when I delievered, and to stay to get up with her at night. His LGMH.

I've heard this before, only it was blood that the little boy was giving and not bone marrow.

Doesn't matter if it is fake, all over the world people donate blood or marrow, even kidneys to help family members or total strangers. They go through the risk to help someone else. GMH
