Save Janet 一位孩童健康成長的守護者

Dear Committee members,

I am writing to share a sad news with you and ask your assistance to spread the message.  Janet Hsu-Lin (許捷), an emergency pediatrician, who served as the camp doctor of NECYSC for several years in the past and continued to support our camp as a sponsor, was recently diagnosed with CML (Chronic Myeloid Leukemia).  I’ve known Janet for more than ten years, and there is no doubt that she is one of the kindest and compassionate people that I’ve encountered.  Besides NECYSC, she also volunteered to be the school doctor of Lexington Chinese School and had taken care of thousands of kids at Boston Children’s Hospital, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and more recently, at her own practice, KidsWell.

Janet is in a critical condition and urgently needs bone marrow transplantation.  In order to increase the chance for Janet to find a matched donor, I am encouraging you to join The National Marrow Donor Program (https://bethematch.org/).  The online registration steps are simple and straightforward.  For more than 95% of the time, doctors request donors to be in the 18-44 age group. For people who are 45-60 years old and want to join the registry, there is a $100 tax-deductible fee to cover the cost of the test. Asian is among of the ethnic groups that are in high demand for more registered donors.

Copied below is the Chinese message that I received from another social group. Please help spread the word and forward this message to your friends and other social groups.

Thank you very much!

Sincerely,

Yu-Hua Tseng
