KEEP THE CIRCLE STRONG
NATIONAL MARROW DONOR PROGRAM
For Genevieve Baldwin, the decision to be a volunteer marrow donor was a matter
of compassion and spirituality. She was hoping she could help a 12-year old child live, but
it was hard to convince her mother that donating marrow would not compromise their
Navajo traditions.
“When I found out I was a match, there was no question in my mind. I was going
to donate. And once my mother realized I was not giving up part of my bones or organs,
but donating replaceable marrow, she gave me her blessing too,” Genevieve said.
Genevieve lived “in the boonies, 20 miles west of Gallup, NM, in a town without
running water.” The nearest telephone was miles away in Manuelito, so, for Fae Jones of
United Blood Services in Albuquerque, a local donor center of the National Marrow Donor
Program (NMDP), contacting Genevieve presented a challenge. But after several days of
leaving messages and plahing phone tag, Fae finally managed to speak with Genevieve
directly and coordinate her first appointment.
On the day of donation, Genevieve squeezed her five children into a borrowed car
and made the two hour trek to Albuquerque, once she arrived she recalls, “I was a little
nervous, but everyone at the hospital was so helpful. It wasn’t scary. They allowed me to
have local anesthesia, and the nurse talked with me the whole time.”
The day after her donation, Genevieve checked out of the hospital. “My family just
let me relax. It wasn’t bad at all. There is pain but it only lasts a short time. You can’t even
compare that to saving someone’s life. Everyone needs to sign up. If it were my child or my
husband who needed a donor, I would want everyone to get serious about joining. My
community has always been there for me when I had hard times. I want to be there to lend
a hand for them. I would do it again.”
During Native American Heritage Month, the NMDP is saluting American Indian/
Alaska Native volunteer donors, like Genevieve, for sharing the gift of life. There is still an
urgent need for more volunteer American Indian/Alaska Native marrow donors. The more
people who volunteer from American Indian/Alaska Native communities, the better chance
patients of every racial and ethnic background will have of finding matched donors.
Marrow transplants require matching certain tissue traits of the donor and the patient.
Because the characteristics that determine marow are inherited in the same way as hair or
eye color, a patient’s best possible match is another family member. Unfortunately, 70
percent of patients will not find a match within their own families and will need an unrelated
individual willing to donate healthy marrow. Some characteristics of marrow type are unique
to people of specific ancestry. Although it is possible for an American Indian/Alaska Native
patient to match a donor from any racial or ethnic group, the most likely match is an American
Indian/alaska Native donor.
You can help to keep the circle strong by joining the NMDP Registry, for more
