Vuong Nguyen

"Seventeen years after I registered, I received a call to let me know that I was a match. Many Asians don’t have much knowledge about this program, so 90% of my friends and family tried to talk me out of it. I felt that all patients have family members, husbands, wives, and probably young children. I prayed everyday, honestly, for the patient, saying, 'Hang tight, hang in there. Hopefully I can help'."

Vuong was a matching donor twice for two different people, and was also contacted a third time as a potential match for another patient in need.
