Andrew Cohen, the 2-year-old son of members of Temple Israel of New Rochelle, is currently a patient at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. His treatment for Neuroblastoma requires regular blood and platelet transfusions.
Andrew and his family would deeply appreciate your donation of blood and/or platelets and requests you ask others you know to donate. Donations not used by Andrew will be released for use by other patients - many of whom are children.
To benefit Andrew, all designated donations must be made in the Blood Donor Room of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Please visit them online for complete information about donor eligibility and the donation process for blood or platelets.
