The Pentecostal Assemblies of the World is using its Indianapolis convention this week to seek possible bone marrow donors to help African-Americans diagnosed with leukemia and other blood diseases.
The Indianapolis Star reports the drive was sparked by the case of 31-year-old Melanie Scott. She has leukemia and couldn’t find a bone marrow match among her siblings.
