Kristin Robinson Medical Assistance

Kristin has battled acute myeloid leukemia for several months now. She has made good progress with chemotherapy treatments, but will need a stem cell transplant (probably at the end of July) in order to continue her recovery. This fund will help her continue her treatments and healing. Every little bit helps. Since Kristin may need additional treatments after the stem cell transplant, this fund will stay available until Kristin has completely recovered, so please consider donating often. 

If you would also like to see if you might be a match for Kristin's  stem cell transplant, go to BeTheMatch.org and join the registry. They will send you a cheek swab kit in the mail. Once they've processed your sample, you can request your HLA results which can then be shared with Kristin's medical team for matching. 

Kristin's kindness, compassion, and strength have inspired and touched so many staff and patrons during her time with Manatee Libraries. Let's show her some of the support and generosity of spirit that she's shown us all these years!
