One of the procedures which helps Nate's body recover from chemotherapy is receiving blood platelets. Because platelets only have a shelf life of five days (they must be used within 5 days of donation), hospitals sometimes run short, especially around the holidays.
Nate (and other people in his situation) needs your platelet donations. To donate platelets, please contact the blood donor center at your nearest Kaiser Permanente. Though it is possible to donate through the Red Cross, it takes longer to reach specific patients (i.e. Nate) than donating directly to Kaiser.
Thank you for your love and support.
(An earlier version of this blog post directed you to the Red Cross for platelet donations--sorry for the confusion.)

Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. My 14 year old son has Ewings Sarcoma cancer, and we're in the hospital right now doing round 7 of chemo. He had the last few weeks off of chemo to have surgery on his leg to have the tumor removed & most of his fibula bone. Good luck! Our hearts are with you and your family!
