As we, all know, last January a devastating earthquake struck Haiti. The images of the people of Haiti and the destruction in that country were very hard to watch. Still many people and charitable organizations quickly acted to help.

Through February, Cryo-Cell donated $25 for each enrollment in the “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund”. Cryo-Cell helps people to safeguard their family’s futures by storing cord blood from their newborns. Stem cells taken from the cord blood can help in the treatment many diseases. Cord blood is a very good source of stem cells. It is a perfect match for the child from the child’s donated cord blood.

If the child needs treatment, such as radiation or chemotherapy the immune system can become extremely compromised. This I know first hand as my granddaughter was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when she was four years old. Her chemo treatment would wipe out almost all of her white blood cells and she would become extremely prone to infections and other illnesses. There is no danger in donating umbilical cord blood. It is usually done at the time of the infant’s birth and will always be available in the event the child needs it later in life.

Cryo-Cell is working with “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund” to help provide necessary supplies to the children of Haiti. They are the only cord blood bank donating a portion of each sale to the “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund”.

If you are expecting a baby, please I strongly urge you to look into umbilical cord blood banking. If you enroll now, it could possibly save your child’s life in the future and you will help the children and people suffering in Haiti.
