On July 22, from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m., a Shreveport family is honoring their 15-year-old son, Kamari Roberson, by hosting a memorial blood stem cell registration drive. Roberson lost his battle with aplastic anemia earlier in 2023, having developed the condition after contracting COVID-19.
The Roberson family is partnering with the organization DKMS, an organization that helps provide blood cancer and other patients with a second chance at life by building a community of donors.
