Kaiya Endo, an 18-year-old college student from Utah who needs a bone marrow transplant donor, has brought up the discussion about the health challenges that she and many others face as someone with mixed Japanese and white backgrounds.⁠ ⁠ Endo's mixed background limits her donor matching possibilities. According to Endo’s mother, Allison Jones, they are searching for 18- to 40-year-old people of mixed Asian and Caucasian descent donors. ⁠ ⁠ Despite the challenges, Endo maintains a positive outlook and looks forward to going back to college and doing outdoor activities. “This condition, if treated, isn’t fatal… I know I’ll get through it.” Endo told 2KUTV. “It just kind of sucks and I just have to wait.”⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ❤️‍🩹Learn more about Endo and her struggles in finding a donor in the full article on our website in our linkinbio ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 💬Comment “email” to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news #kaiyaendo #organdonor #mixedrace #hapa...
