WoW.! That’s really sad.! Its really good seeing celebrities help out the best way that they can. Also, it doesn’t look like nothing is wrong with this Beautiful 6 year old girl, but she continue each day like it would be her last. I really hope that she get the donor as soon as possible, and if I could i REALLY WOULD HELP HER

Aww wow! I hope marrow is found for this little doll. Lil Mama is a great role models for lil girls and young women. People always has something negative to say about her but she’s a great artist with talent and she doesn’t have to run around naked in order to get publicity. Keep doing what you do LIL MAMA regardless of the haters!!

I’M SO PROUD TO SAY THAT MY HUSBAND & I WENT AND GOT SCREENED (HERE IN NYC @ HER GREENWICH VILLAGE SCHOOL) SO THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY BE A MATCH FOR JASMINA. EVEN IF WE’RE NOT, WE WERE HAPPY TO DO IT & JUST WISH HER THE BEST OF LUCK.
I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT SHE WILL FIND A MATCH.

wow I was just worrying about something so dumb and I come to see this which made me realize there are people around the world going thorugh horrible situations. Thank you God for the reality check. I hope this beautiful child find a donor and I pray she will be alright. What Lil Mama did was great. People always talk bad about her ..I did too won’t lie…but I definitely respect her for this.

@ Creamy
That is wonderful, bless you (and your hubby) for trying
@ Roni
Well, I’m a half inch shorter, so I guess I’m no good either.
I first heard about Jasmina from a vid on Paul Pierce’s website. I pray that she finds a match…soon. Beautiful little girl and video.

That lil girl is so precious, it pains me to see ill people, especially children. It’s good to see Lil Mama, as well as other celebrities doing things for a good cause. Glad to see she is holding up, I couldn’t imagine losing..someone so dear to me. She’s a strong young lady. I hope Jasmina finds a match though.

@ 25- LOLA, THANKS HUN BUT I REALLY DID IT CUZ I WOKE UP ON A SATURDAY MORNING A FEW WEEKS AGO & SAW THAT THEY WERE DOING A DRIVE @ HER SCHOOL FOR ONLY A FEW HOURS THAT DAY. SOMETHING IN ME JUST SAID ‘I REALLY SHOULD GO’. FORTUNATELY, TO MY SURPRISE, THERE WERE A LOTTT OF PEOPLE THERE & THAT MADE ME SMILE. CUZ I HAVE A VERY YOUNG DAUGHTER MYSELF & I COULDN’T IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE FOR ALL OF US IF SHE HAD TO GO THRU LEUKEMIA.
@ EVERYONE SAYING “GOD, I HOPE SHE FINDS A MATCH” WELL DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! ALL U HAVE TO DO IS LITERALLY WIPE A COUPLE OF SWABS IN YOUR MOUTH & MAIL THEM IF UR NOT IN THE NY AREA. AND THEY’RE REALLY LOOKING FOR AFRICAN-AMERICANS/BLACKS FOR HER MATCH SO COME ON, CONCRETELOOPERS!!! DON’T DISAPPOINT!!!!

I’m glad to hear that someone is trying to help this girl.
But what makes her so special out of all the other kids that are struggling with the same illness? Is she a celebrities daughter or something?

I just love to see this!! Lil Mama is super sweet for doing this for Jasmina.
More celebs should take note and do things like this.

Don’t just ‘aww’ and feel sorry for Jasmina for 2 minutes, go out and actively see if you could be a match. There are so many children dying young partly because we as humans turn a blind eye to their pain and struggle.
I trully hope Jasmina finds a match, and good on the celebs for supporting this adorable little girl.

Lets pray Jasmina gets a match. It’s always sad to see how some of us take life for granted and well-deserving people/kids are fighting to live everyday.
And its always good to see any young black person being supportive and for celebrities its even better when they are doing it from the heart and not to gain attention.

She is such a little princess. I’ve been screened so well see if I’m a match. My sister died of Leukemia when I was ten she was my favorite and I miss her every single day. No one in our family was a match and there was no one there to help us with a drive we didn’t even know it was possible and we had to watch her die so I hope and pray we can find a match for Jasmine!!

People are wondering which African country she is from because a possible donor usually comes from your country or race. Since she is African, it will help to know which country so that citizens of those country can register and hopefully be a match.
@ Angel, I am from Ghana and if she is from West Africa, I could try becoming a donor or at least send in my swap to see if there could be a possible match. please let me know if you find out.
@ those talking about her hair. Is it really necessary + it is A WIG. She has been thru chemo and has no hair. INAPPROPIATE!!!
