Transplant Type - Bone Marrow

Jaden was diagnosed with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) when he was just 23 months old. After suffering from persistent fevers that would not go away, doctors discovered he had this rare disease, which only affects 25,000 people worldwide. Jaden had to take medication every day and shots to boost his immunity three times each week.

Doctors knew a bone marrow transplant was the only treatment that could cure young Jaden.

Thankfully, little Jaden received his lifesaving bone marrow transplant in July 2009. Jaden is so excited about his transplant, which will allow him to play like the other children his age.

A bone marrow transplant costs approximately $675,000. And that's only the beginning. Even with health coverage, Jaden's family faces significant medical expenses related to his transplant. The Dhaliwal family lives 3,000 miles away from the transplant center at Duke University Medical Center. They will need significant help with travel, food and lodging, especially because his father was out of work while traveling with the Dhaliwal family to care for Jaden during the transplant.
