Laila and Kenton's everlasting bond
Kenton's blood stem cell donation provided a second chance at life for Laila—sparking a lifelong connection.
Laila and Kenton's powerful story holds a special place in both of their hearts. They hope their experience can help inspire others to donate.
At age 10, Laila was diagnosed with a life-threatening autoimmune disease.
Inspired by his own family, Kenton knew he wanted to help someone in need.
