Gift of Life Marrow Registry is a special group of people who try to help other people who are sick. When people get sick, their body sometimes needs new cells to help them get better. Gift of Life helps find new cells for people who need them.
Imagine you have a toy and it's broken. You really want to play with it, but you can't because it's broken. But what if someone had a toy just like yours that they didn't need anymore and could give to you so you can play with it again? That's kind of what Gift of Life does, but instead of toys, they find new cells for people who are sick.
Sometimes, people who need new cells can't find ones that match them from their own family. And that's where Gift of Life comes in. They have a big list of people who are willing to give some of their cells to someone they don't even know, just to help them get better.
So imagine you have a best friend who is very sick and they need new cells. But nobody in their family matches. So, Gift of Life looks through the list of their special friends who are willing to give cells and finds someone who matches with your friend. Then that person goes to the doctor and gives some of their cells to your friend.
By giving their cells, they are giving your friend the gift of life - a chance to get better and feel healthy again. And that's what Gift of Life Marrow Registry does - they help people give the gift of life to others who need it.
