  • Can you imagine how it feels to meet the person that saved your son's life?
    Bernadette and Glenn Johnson went from the United States to Porto Rico to meet the bone marrow donor that cured their son Brent from a serious condition, sickel cell anemia.
    Juan Sanchez Marrero, 21, joined the Be The Match registry in one of the bone marrow drives held by The Icla da Silva Foundation in Porto Rico. Juan was overwhelmed to meet Brent. "Saving someone's life is the
    most beautiful thing you can do, right? I saved this boy's life and if I had to do it another thousand times, I would do it very happily", he said.

    Just a bit of an update! Got a letter the other day telling me that my recipient is doing well and only has minor complications! Very exciting news! Can't believe it was nearly a year ago that I donated!

    Not, remember: Genesis 2:17
    "but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."
    ·
    Genesis 3:5
    "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."
    Thank to satan we have that knowledge, God don't want us to have it.

    Don't put God in this, is science what save him not God.

      I agree, if God was in control, he shouldn't have given him the disease in the first place. Science and his donor saved his life.
