During African American Bone Marrow Awareness Month 10-Year-Old Texas Boy Makes Appeal for More Blood Stem Cell and Marrow Donors
MJ Dixon is battling leukemia and has been searching for a match for the past year
July is African American Bone Marrow Awareness Month, and Be The Match is working to raise awareness of a health disparity on the national blood stem cell and marrow registry that affects Black and African American patients in need of life-saving cell therapies. Patients battling blood cancers such as leukemia or blood diseases like sickle cell disease are most likely to find a matching donor in someone who shares their heritage or ethnicity. The odds of finding a match are dependent on a patient's ethnicity, with Black and African American patients least likely to find a matching donor. Black patients find matching donors 29% of the time compared to a 79% chance for white patients.

Support the Best Lemon Bars in Houston
I love food gifts and a few months ago a family friend of ours gave us a pastry gift. The gift was a lemon bar. I was initially intrigued by lemon because lemon is one of those flavors that can be good or bad. I was also intrigued because it wasn't a cake. I took a bite into this lemon bar and I was transformed into bliss. From texture to taste to presentation, this lemon bar was pure perfection. I immediately needed to know who made this. That is the start of my relationship with Chef Heather Davis, owner of Chic Sweets Fine Desserts and curator of the Luscious Lemon Bar!

Public-private partnerships reach more “offline” low-income families
In a humble southwest Houston apartment, a mother of two was focused on her morning routine — settling down her school-aged children so that she could clear the breakfast table.

The connection was hit or miss, but there was no other option.

A Blessing in Disguise: State Farm's Pullout from California and What it Means for Homeowners
State Farm's recent decision to pull out of California may initially cause concern among homeowners, but seasoned bad-faith insurance lawyer Eric Dick suggests that this move might actually benefit them in the long run. With his extensive experience in representing property owners in breach of contract cases against various insurance companies, Dick has witnessed firsthand State Farm's notorious reputation for denying valid insurance claims and prioritizing expensive litigation and media campaigns over settling legitimate claims.
