About Me

H3M stands for "Helpers for Miracle Marrow Matches." We are a group of high school students. Our mission is to help patients suffering from leukemia and other blood-related diseases to successfully find a matching marrow donor. We volunteer for a nonprofit organization called Asians for Miracle Marrow Matches (A3M) by going on donor drives, raising awareness, and fundraising. We educate people who are interested in marrow donation and guide them through the registration process. We raise awareness by making videos and handing out flyers. Our club fundraises for patients by hosting garage sales, selling items at school carnivals, and recycling. Recycling is our main fundraising activity. Our club collects recyclables and takes them to the recycling center once a month. On the days we recycle, we usually gather afterwards to prepare swab kits and registration forms for the donor drives.

7/10/11 Donor Drive

Thank you to those of you (William, Diana, Taehoon, and ME) who were at the drive on Sunday at St. Helena Catholic Church!
Although it was difficult to recruit donors due to a language barrier, we still learned from this experience, right? Next time, let's recruit volunteers who speak Spanish :)


Also, I just want to let you know that I have given the total funds raised from recycling over the past 6 months, $240.30, to A3M!
