Hodaya needs your help urgently!

A little background about Hodaya

Hodaya Ephraim, 23 years old, lives in the Gush Etizon community of Rosh Tzurim. She is a first-year university student majoring in special education.  Hodaya was diagnosed with a rare strain of cancer. Today, after a two year struggle,  Hodaya has successfully completed chemotherapy treatment.  At this stage we can say that she has beaten the cancer. But unfortunately, this specific strain of acute leukemia has a relatively high return. Therefore,  there is now a critical need to raise funds to finance the following:
1. Bone marrow tests of  people  of Cochin decent. Until now 350 tests have been examined but no matches have been found.
2.   Umbilical cord stem cell blood tests of married people of Cochin and Ashkenazi decent.

Please help Hodaya by funding these tests.

All donations are tax deductible in Israel and the USA.

 Costs:

  Bone marrow   $60 per test

  Stem cell           $2,650                                                       

for those that do not fit the profile you can mention her in your prayers,

Hodaya Bat Esther.                                             

   Thank you!
