Remember 6 year old Jasmina Anema? The young girl who needed a bone marrow transplant and had celebrities like Rihanna and Kelly Rowland encouraging people to sign up as potential donors? Well, it worked. Last Thursday, Anema received a bine marrow transplant to treat a rare and deadly form of leukemia. “It’s an overwhelming relief,” Jasmina’s mother, Thea, told People from her hospital room. “I am incredibly grateful to the donor who gave Jasmina a second chance at life.” The donor is a stranger, and DKMS said Jasmina and her mother can find out the person’s identity in one or two years.
