Today is #Giving Tuesday. We invite you to check out our Impact Report!

Dear Friend of the nbmtLINK,

As the President of the Board of Directors for the nonprofit National Bone Marrow Transplant Link (nbmtLINK), it is my honor to write to you today and wish you good health this holiday season. The Impact Report, above, highlights our many accomplishments in 2020.

The patients and families we serve and the healthcare providers we help educate are experiencing unprecedented challenges this year, of which you are well aware. As a clinical psychologist at a major cancer center, I see patients and their families each day trying to navigate these tumultuous times. I am proud of the work we are doing as the nbmtLINK strives to provide additional support through diversified, free programs in many formats to those in need as they battle cancer and receive a life-saving bone marrow/stem cell transplant.

Recently, we received a wonderful email from a family caregiver, Joseph, who wanted to share how the nbmtLINK helped him as he registered for one of our free programs:

It is my honor to be able to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to each and every single person who contributes to this noble cause of helping people like myself and my dear wife, who recently has been diagnosed with multiple myeloma.

Truly, without the personal attention and compassion you have given and give eagerly, we and many others would not be able to endure. The sheer terror of the diagnosis; members of your community have calmed with a simple conversation.

The bewilderment of what to do next; you have enlightened and given hope and guidance. The importance of your work is second to none and your efforts are a testament to the human spirit. Knowing that you are there for us has been life-changing and is helping us to heal. For that we are eternally grateful.

We thank you with the warmest of sincerity,

Joseph & Pamela Jacobson

We are honored and humbled to serve our constituents but we cannot do it alone. We are so happy we can keep our programs free of charge and your gift today will certainly help. Together, we can help patients and their loved ones access the support needed more than ever due to COVID-19.

Stay well. Please visit us on our Facebook and Twitter pages to stay connected.

With sincere thanks,

Donna Posluszny
