Our Thoughts
10/9/2009
Dear Friends-
It is with great excitement that I share with you that we have released our 3rd cord blood unit for transplant to a young child in Italy! How incredible that the work we are doing here in our little state is affecting the lives of a family in a country so far away!
I am also excited to tell you that we have reached over 120 pre registrations from moms through our website! Technology rocks!
This number however, is nowhere near our potential. There are approximately 7000 births at Christiana and 1000 births at St. Francis – we want them all!!! So how do we get to more moms? We need you to help us! We need to continue to spread the word. Have you been to our online store yet? A comfy and stylish shirt, hat, or visor with our logo Give Life. Twice. worn by you, can be a great way to help us get to many more moms! Also, do you know a place that would be ideal to keep educational cards or flyers for moms to see? Maybe you can help us get these cards placed there! Even carrying our educational cards in your diaper bag or purse and handing them out as opportunities arise is a huge help. Just email us today and we will send them to you free of charge.
Remember that the more units that we get banked the more units will be available to be matched for transplant – and that is the goal! Please help us to help more Delaware parents give the hope and possible life saving cord blood unit for families everywhere!
As always – your support is greatly appreciated! Thank you for all that you do every day to help our cause! And again, please remember BKF in this year’s United Way Campaign.

WOW!
Since our program's inception in March, 2006, at Christiana Care Hospital in Newark, DE, we have had over 600 Moms Give Life. Twice by donating their baby's cord blood.
