Three years ago Esha suffered from a rare and often fatal form of leukemia. Her treatment included chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant. The blood products she received during her 18 months of treatment enabled her to survive.

“You don’t have to be superman to give blood; yet, when you give blood, you do a supernatural thing.”

Esha treasures time spent with her two daughters - Adrianna, age 11, and Kristena, age 13. Leukemia nearly took her life.

“If the blood wasn’t there for me, I wouldn’t be there for my ch i l d r e n .”

Red Cross blood donors help patients just like Esha in cities and towns throughout New England and across the United States. Please….give blood. Together, we can save a life.
