We are the first Black-ledCanadian charity that addresses the under-representation of Black stem cell donors in the Canada Blood Services Stem Cell Registry.

We are on a mission to support, care for, and help save the lives of leukemia patients and others suffering from blood disorders by increasing the Black donor pool in Canada’s national stem cell registry. We do this through awareness building, education, active recruitment, and partnerships.

White patients are over 3x more likely to find a stem cell match.

DonorDrive4Dorothy was founded to help solve this disparity.

Our Values

Access

Ensure all Black patients in need of a stem cell transplant have equal access to treatment and resources.

Empathy

Listen and engage each patient with an open heart. We honour every patient’s unique story.

CARE

We prioritize the safety and well-being of our community, especially those afflicted by leukemia and other blood disorders.

Better Posture

To build trust that’s rooted in love and compassion. This is how we connect with our community, donors, and partners.
