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.

LACES Marrow Donor Drive


Hello everyone!

We will be hosting a marrow donor drive at LACES during school on April 11th.

LACES students: If you are 18 or over, please help save a life! The registration process is really simple - all you do is fill out a form and take a cheek swab test. It takes only about 5 minutes. These swabs are later used to check if you match a patient with leukemia or another blood-related disease. You must match the patient to actually donate.


H3M members: If you would like to volunteer or help set up, please contact me! The periods that day are 2, 4, 6, and 7.

Thank you,

Ruby Kim
