You could be a match for Jackson

You could be a match for Jackson by Christi Myers
Imagine learning that your baby has a genetic mutation that will keep him from living to be an adult. Now imagine that there’s only one cure, but you can’t buy it. You have to depend on a stranger.
“Jackson’s immune system does not work basically at all. There’s very little function that he has,” said Brenda. “He’s basically like the bubble boy.”
“With the nemo mutation, there’s only 14, 15 people in the world that have that mutation that Jackson has and no one has ever survived past age 20 with this mutation,” said Brenda.
A bone marrow transplant is the only treatment. It could give Jackson an immune system.
“This could be a complete cure,” said Brenda. “He could live a completely normal life.”
But no one in their family is a match. They’re spending their savings trying to have another child who might be a match.
