This post is inspired by the support I saw flying across the Internet for a fellow twitter-er and blogger who lost her 17 month old daughter this week. Trying to help another in her honor!

Last month I wrote about a 6-year-old girl, Jasmina, who is in desperate need of a bone-marrow transplant as she has an aggressive form of Leukemia. Awareness of her disease and her need for a transplant has been aided by big stars like singers,  Rihanna, Lil Mama and Kelly Rowland.  Jasmina’s parents adopted her when she was only 3 days old and are not a match for her.

I explained a little in my previous post about helping Jasmina, just how easy it is to get tested and donate. It’s a simple outpatient proceedure and you can DEFINITELY save a life. Hey, if Rihanna, Lil Mama and Kelly Rowland can do it, you can do it too!

Also, stay tuned to TheCuteKid, we’re going to be announcing another gallery contest to benefit the March of Dimes
since our last one was such a success!

As promised, here are a few fun answers to my CuteKid Questions of the day I started this week.

What’s your child’s talent?

Twitter Friend: My almost 11 year old is a competitive barrel racer & has 5 championship buckles to her credit. That caught my attention for sure!

What celebs are your kid’s role models?

Twitter Friend: My sons love cooking and cooking shows. They equate chefs to rockstars…no…bigger than rockstars. I was not expecting Bobby Flay to come up for that question!

Be sure to check out my Twitter for the CuteKid Question of the day, I’m using #ckq to track the answers, or just post a comment right here to the blog!

Hello there friends! As you know, I typically write about great things happening here at The CuteKid but we got some sad news here today and hopefully our friends can help!

Jasmina Amena is a little girl in our local area of NY and was recently diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of leukemia and is in dire need of a marrow transplant. As of now they have not found a match for her and since she is adopted and has no siblings, her parents are running out of options quickly.

Jasmina needs some help CuteKid friends! Did you know that you can help her without having surgery? You can find out if you’re a match with a simple mouth swab, it’s so easy and you have the opportunity to help a little girl see her 7th birthday and many more!

There are 2 ways to donate to Jasmina, one is from your blood and one is from your bone marrow, both are simple out patient procedures!

You can help even if you aren’t a match for Jasmina, from donating to spreading the word.

Check out Jasmina’s Website, there’s information on a donor drive being held at her school this Saturday and other info on how to do it yourself or help!

There’s also information about her in the news, just Google her and you’ll see Rihanna and Kelly Rowland have even been spreading her word! She’s all over the news

Have you or anyone you know ever needed to rely on the help of strangers? Tell us your story and how it made such a huge impact!
