Baby in need of a bone marrow match

NEW YORK

She is so vulnerable that to go in her hospital room, you need a mask and gloves.

"She is the most important thing in my life - I just want to make sure we have many more years together," said Ayelet's father.

Isabel Greyson is with DKMS Americas, the group looking for a bone marrow donor. So far celebrities such as /*Rihanna*/, /*Eva Mendes*/ and /*50 Cent*/ are in the mix to help find a match for Ayelet.

"Ayelet has a severe bone marrow deficiency that impairs her ability to support an immune system and so getting a transplant is going to be her lifeline," said Ayelet's mother.

"It is a 15 second swab inside your cheek to see if you're a match to save a life," Isabel added.

The family and DKMS have organized a donor-registration drive where people can stop by to get swabbed all day Sunday.
