Native American bone marrow donors are being actively sought to help a 2-year-old mixed-race Navajo boy suffering from a rare blood disease.

Native donors and mixed-race Native donors are needed to help Dakota Kwiecinski, doctors say. Without a donation, Kwiecinski, who has hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, may die in six months.

The United Blood Services is holding bone marrow and blood drives on the Navajo Reservation throughout the month.
