Please Support 2 Year Old Roman Malek

Donation protected
Roman is 2 years old. While back in the Bay Area for the Holidays, his parents Kevin and Christina, took him to a doctor's appointment for what they thought would be a fairly regular check-up after they discovered bruises on his leg. After many tests and days of agony wondering what was going on with their son, he has been diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia, a rare disease where your body stops producing enough new blood cells. This is devastating news for Kevin, Christina and their family. Roman is a vibrant, curious and wonderful boy who loves to play. He is at the beginning of his life and now faces a long medical journey of blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants. He is in need of your help.  He can't cure himself.  Kevin & Christina are lifelong Bay Area natives, but in October they decided to start a new beginning in Austin, Texas. They will be relocating back immediately so that Roman can continue to get care at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital.  How you can help: 1. Contribute to this fund! With hospital costs, weekly lab work, an unknown length of treatment, missed days from work, and the cost of relocating back to Bay Area, anything you can donate helps.  2. Donate bone marrow.  Learn more: https://bethematch.org 3. Share this with anyone else who may want to help Please keep Roman, Kevin, Christina and the entire Malek family in your thoughts and prayers. They’ve been told they have a long, emotional road ahead so thank you for relieving some of the unexpected financial burden that the Malek's face during this time. With your love and support, we know Roman will beat this!
