Be the Hero Noah Desperately Needs

What seemed like a simple case of measles quickly took a devastating turn when Noah’s nose and mouth began to bleed. Concerned, his parents rushed him to the hospital, where he underwent multiple tests, including bone marrow biopsies. He has already endured blood and platelet transfusions, but these are only temporary solutions. After months of agonizing uncertainty, doctors confirmed the heartbreaking diagnosis: Fanconi Anemia—a life-threatening blood disorder that prevents his bone marrow from producing the blood cells he needs to survive.

Since then, Noah’s world has shrunk. “We’ve had to build a bubble around him,” his mother, Tyler, shares. “Simple things—visiting family, a weekend away—we can’t risk it. I wake up in the middle of the night just to check if he’s still breathing.”

Noah’s only hope is a stem cell transplant from a matching donor. But finding that match is like searching for a needle in a haystack because 70% of patients rely on the kindness of a stranger because no one in their family is a match.

Noah deserves a future. He deserves to grow up, to ride his dirt bike, to laugh with his sister, to experience all the adventures life has to offer. And you could make that possible.

Don’t just scroll past. Take action.
