I'd like to encourage people to help Marcos, but there are "limitations" on who can help. I tried to contribute today (Thursday) but was turned away as too old. No one over 60. And anyone older than 39 has to pay (I don't know how much)to have their compatibility checked. The receptionist could not explain why these limitations exist, but I think it sad that age and $$ may prevent Marcos from receiving the lifesaving marrow he needs.
