For those of you asking, you cannot donate stem cells directly to Thomas, unfortunately. You can however sign up for Bethematch.com and register to be a donor. By doing so, you may be contacted about being a match for other people, you always have the option to deny the request. If you end up being a match for Thomas you will be in the pool of people who can donate to him (if there is even a pool there could be hardly any matches that qualify we don’t know). By joining this registry you make it more likely to find people who match with him that will NOT deny him if they match and who will be a quicker option for Thomas as this is time sensitive. I am going to follow up about this with other doctors to make sure 100% that you can’t donate directly to Thomas, I hope there is a way but so far the doctor I spoke with says there is not.
There are tons of things they do consider for you to be a viable donor.
Ex. Age 18-40, health, etc..
