When Jonnika Lopez got the call that she was the winner of Xytex Cord Blood Banks “Gift of Life” Giveaway, it was all she could do not to start jumping up and down and screaming. ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you!’ she said. As the winner, Lopez and her family receive cord blood banking services from Xytex Cord Blood Bank, including enrollment, processing and testing and first year of storage for her babys cord blood stem cells.
Lopez had a powerful reason for her interest in cord blood banking-a strong family history of leukemia. “My 45-year-old grandfather, my six-year-old brother and my 30-year-old father all died from leukemia,” said Lopez. She and her husband, Caesar, are already parents to three-year-old Corion. “I couldnt afford to do it the first time, but I was always interested in it,” said Lopez, “mainly because I have a son and it seems all the men in my family have that trait.”
Due in March, Lopez hasnt learned the sex of her second child, but she is grateful to have won this gift for her family. ‘It just gives you such peace of mind,’ she said.
