Fifteen years old girl meets her bone marrow donor for the first time.

Olivia Tate was born with Sickle Cell disease and her only chance for a cure was a bone marrow transplant. After searching the Be the Match registry a 100% compatible was found. Sidnei Barbosa registered at a bone marrow drive held by the Icla da Silva Foundation in 2002 and donated bone marrow to Olivia. Both met for the very first time at the Icla da Silva Foundation 2013 Hope Gala in New York City.

So happy to see she’s thriving and living a beautiful life! Being a donor is a very beautiful act ❤️

[@happyclampopper]

The parents of the kids that looked at her and said that's a cancer patient, need to have a long talk with those kids

Sign up to be a donor. It’s not a major procedure; it really isn’t - especially for someone young in their 20s, 30s and 40s.💗

[@IcladaSilvaFoundation]

Thank you! But the journey to a cure can be difficult for those with fewer resources.this is why we support those in need.

[@MamaTriedSolo]

@@IcladaSilvaFoundation resources?

[@IcladaSilvaFoundation]

@@MamaTriedSolo not every patient lives close to a transplant center. We help with travel and accommodations.
