Guess who I heard from today? OK….it was Mario! Mario Garza! He and his twin sister Cindy Garza Zaba, have not been on FB lately cuz they’ve had some health issues to deal with for Cindy!
Cindy was diagnosed with Leukemia last December. She has already gone through several Chemo therapies, and now they have decided to find a matching bone marrow doner! Well they didn’t have to look far, because as it turns out…Mario is a perfect match…being her twin!
So now Mario is being prepared and educated by Rush Hospital to donate his stem cells to Cindy! He will have to self-inject himself for 5 days, to build up his own stem cells, so they can remove as many as they can. The more the better for Cindy!
The actual procedure of removing his stem cells will happen on June14th, and 15th if needed! Anytime after that when Cindy gets healthy enough, she will receive his stem cells!
WoW—Science in Action!!!
Soooooo on to OUR PART!!!!!!!
Calling all Homekids to: as Mario put it….”Circle the Wagons and the Bluebirds”…in Prayer for Cindy and Mario too!
So Homekids, whether you call it Kneemailing, or Nightly Prayer List, or “Hey God, it’s Me” Prayers!!! Let’s all make a BIG effort to Storm the Heavens, for help with each step of the Process, that Cindy and Mario will be going through this summer! And I’m sure we’ll be hearing some good updates soon!!!
Please pass this info to anyone you know who is not on FB, and I will be putting this up on our MessageBoard too!
The first date will be June 14th for the stem cell removal from Mario!
Take care Homekids!!
