DONOR RESOURCES

It is important for donors to keep their information updated. If you need to update your information, please visit NMDP

If you are contacted by SAMAR or the NMDP as a potential match for a patient, we urge you to seriously consider being a marrow/blood cell donor.  If you have any reservations, please contact SAMAR at 718-592-0821 or samar@samarinfo.org and we can try to answer your questions and concerns.  When you are contacted, you hold the key to that patient's life, and to say no without fully being informed would be a terrible mistake.  We can even put you in touch with previous donors, so you can hear first hand how the process works and the sense of fulfillment that each donor feels.  Of course we understand that various extraneous complications might deter you from donating.  But, we want you to be well informed before you make a decision.  After all, you can provide that patient with hope and a second chance at life.
