Kollaboration is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. Our mission is EMPOWERMENT THROUGH ENTERTAINMENT. We are dedicated to the promotion of a strong Asian Pacific Islander American presence in entertainment. We use this positive presence to aid other charitable and community causes.
Michelle is 26 years old. Diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in February 2007, Michelle underwent chemotherapy for seven months but relapsed in May 2008. She now needs to find a bone marrow match to save her life. You could be that person.
What you can do to help Michelle or others like her. The first step in becoming a hero requires a cheek swab and ten minutes of your time. If you are a match, the transplant can often be done entirely through the blood. We have less than a month to find a match for Michelle. The outcome is simple -- someone lives because of your donation. You could be the one to save Michelle, or one of thousands of other people like her.
Your generosity knows no bounds. We cannot express in words our immense appreciation for everyone that has registered. Team Michelle has been working around the clock organizing bone marrow drives around the country to find Michelle a match. With each person that registers, we are one step closer to saving the life of someone in need. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.
