A peninsula family is in a life-and-death battle to save their little boy. And they are getting some much needed help from the little boy's preschool.



Four-year-old Kyle Crawford was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia last week. Aplastic anemia is a condition that occurs when your body stops producing enough new blood cells, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Kyle needs a bone marrow transplant and may die without it, according to his school.



While Kyle fights for his life at Stanford's Lucille Packard, his teachers at Serendipity Preschool are setting up a way to get people tested to see if they might be a bone marrow match.



A would-be-donor must be half Chinese and half Caucasian.



So far two testing days have been set up in January. One at the school and one at a clinic in San Francisco.



The school sent out a note to parents and to NBC Bay Area hoping to get more attention to the story.



In part it read, "As parents in our community, if there has ever been a time to come together and help salve the life of little boy, now is that time. With a heavy heart, please help spread the word to finding a potential donor for Kyle."



The Asian American Donor Program is also promoting Kyle's plight. It has a page dedicated to the peninsula child.



The AADP page notes that Kyle was born special on 7/7/07. He's apparently a mean Angry Bird gamer with a passion for super heroes.



If you are half Chinese/ half Caucasian, below is the donor drive information. Testing is free, quick and easy. They just take a sample of saliva from your cheek.
