Rihanna to help girl find a bone marrow

With all the bad news on Chris Brown and Rihanna, we thought we would share some good news about Rihanna...

Rihanna is reaching out to help a child who needs a bone marrow transplant.

Rihanna said, “When I saw the video of Jasmina it broke my heart,“ Rihanna told PEOPLE. “It is so unfair that for a black patient it’s so much harder to find a bone marrow match. Jasmina has acute leukemia and she needs a bone marrow transplant to live."

“Finding a match is our only answer,” said Thea Amena, Jasmina’s mother. “We have to. And we want to bring awareness to this – not just for Jasmina, but for everyone with leukemia. I hope people come forward to help.”

It is really easy, find a bone marrow transplant drive in your area and get involved, you must be 18 years old. For more information DKMS.
