The Gift That Keeps On Giving

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Cryo-Cell International. All opinions are 100% mine.

Cryo-Cell: the industry leader in cord blood banking is donating $25 for each enrollment to the “Save the Children: Haiti Relief Fund” effort. Thus, for the would-be Mom’s out there, it is the perfect time to think about safeguarding the future of your children and families. You are not only doing it for your family, you are also helping a great cause if you enroll now. Or perhaps, it is also an opportune time for family and friends of would-be Moms to consider giving Cryo-Cell as a gift instead of the usual baby shower presents that we are accustomed to giving.

I say that this is the gift that keeps on giving because of its potential use. Cord blood is a rich source of stem cells, and if they are taken from a newborn upon birth and stored for future use, they then become a viable substitute to bone marrow in many successful transplants. Future life threatening illnesses of that child that are treated via radiation and chemotherapy presents a high probability of negative impact on the individual’s immune system. Although, autologous transplantation may not be called for in every disease, there is a possible benefit of the preserved U-Cord stem cells to support and repopulate the immune system of your child.

To Mommies out there who are soon to give birth to a new life, storing your newborn’s cord blood will not only secure your newborn. You will also help another child or a family in Haiti rebuild their future because Cryo-Cell is committed to contributing a portion of each enrollment to the Haiti Relief Fund.
