I think most bone marrow drives are self-aware enough to realize this. I’m sure I’ve heard the line “even if you can’t help X, you may be able to help someone else,” and the like enough from this sort of charity.

In some respects it worked against cultural narratives in that community that are afraid or ignorant about the bone marrow transplant process.
