Questions
Can I join if I’m not a citizen?
Registries usually decide by where you live, not by nationality. Blood Stem Cells Switzerland’s own rules say who can join.
I’m already on another country’s registry. Do I join again?
Registries share their lists with searches around the world, so ask your registry before you join a second one.
Is giving blood the same as joining?
Giving blood helps patients who need transfusions. It doesn’t put you on a stem cell donor registry unless that registry says it does.
Who is the Jada Bascom Foundation?
We’re a US charity. We don’t run a registry, and we aren’t part of Blood Stem Cells Switzerland. We help people find the official registry where they live.
Live somewhere else?
Registries usually sign up people by where they live, not by nationality.

BE SOMEONE’S TORSTEN
The same search found Jada’s donor in Germany.
Jada was a baby in Spokane, Washington, when doctors found she had acute myeloid leukemia. Her match was a stranger five thousand miles away: Torsten, who had joined the DKMS registry at a donor drive in Germany the year before she was born. If you live in Liechtenstein, your place in that search starts with Blood Stem Cells Switzerland.
