Could You Be the Match to Save Baby Lucca’s Life?

This disorder causes his body to attack itself, leaving him with type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, severe allergies, and skin problems.

Despite all he has been through, Lucca is full of joy and energy. He claps his hands, moves around his playpen, and laughs whenever his favorite Plim Plim songs play. His doctors even call him Jack-Jack from The Incredibles because of his strength, curiosity, and resilience.

His mom, Yuyunisse, shared: “I’ve done a lot of research, and the literature says that the life expectancy for children with this syndrome without a transplant is very low, but I am hopeful that Lucca’s match is out there. Please register, my son's future depends on it.”

When you register, you will receive a free swab kit at the comfort of your home. With just three cotton swabs, we could test if you could help give Lucca and many other patients like him a second chance at life.

Because for Lucca, and for every child waiting for a donor, hope begins with you.
