My donor was found in Germany also - a young college student who registered to donate when he was 16 and a family friend was needing a stem cell donor. I became the beneficiary of this man’s generosity. He will be coming to the US for the third time with his parents to visit us.

It’s wonderful you’ve been able to meet with your donor! That must have been an incredible first meeting!! 💕
My donor was a 20 year old male from the US and after repeated attempts to initiate contact he chooses to remain anonymous. I’d really love to meet this young man who would be 24 now. I sent 2 thank you notes the first year. Then at my 2nd and 3rd anniversaries I sent requests for contact to Be the Match to see if my donor would reciprocate. Nope… It’s not like I want to be another old auntie or granny in his life telling him to make good decisions😅. I just want to let him know how his gift has impacted my life, along with family and friends.
Quite frankly I would not be alive right now if not for his generosity. He owes me nothing but I owe him everything!
