NEEKO'S BEGINNING

Why A Needle-Phobe Like Me Regularly Donates Platelets

When my son, Neeko, was first born, he wasn't producing his own platelets.  Thanks to six donor-platelet transfusions, his tiny life was saved.

This is the story of how I almost lost my infant son, how he was saved by anonymous donors and the decision I made six years later to pay it forward--a decision that would forever enrich my life.
