Celebrating 30 Years of Saving Lives

NEW YORK - Nov. 5, 2021 - PRLog -- The Icla da Silva Foundation was established in 1992, in memory of a 13-year-old Brazilian girl named Icla da Silva. After two years fighting leukemia, Icla passed in New York City where she came hoping to receive her life-saving treatment: a bone marrow transplant.

A matching donor was never found and the foundation was established to recognize her wish:
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry about me; please help my friends" - Icla da Silva (leukemia patient)
