Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. For 70% of them, no one in their family is a genetic match—their only hope is a stranger on a bone marrow registry.

Jada Bascom is proof that strangers save lives.

Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia as an infant, Jada's only chance was a bone marrow transplant. Her match came from Torsten Huber—a stranger in Germany who said yes when asked if he'd be willing to donate. Because of his gift, Jada is alive today and graduating high school.

The Jada Bascom Foundation exists to give other patients that same chance.

Our mission is to register one million new bone marrow and blood stem cell donors worldwide in the next year. Your donation powers registration drives in schools, workplaces, and communities. It funds educational outreach that dispels myths about donation. And it connects people across 40+ countries to their local registries—giving patients everywhere a better chance at finding their match.

Jada got her miracle. Help us create more.
