NEW YORK, New York -- Jasmina Anema, the young Leukemia patient at the heart of DKMS Americas' "One for Jasmina" campaign, has found not one, but two possible bone marrow donors to help her beat cancer.

Jasmina, 6, has won the hearts of such stars as Kelly Rowland and Rihanna, who have visited the young girl in the hospital and helped publicize the need to register bone marrow donors.

With their help, Jasmina now has two possible matches for a transplant, which she desperately needs to fight the disease.

The news breaks the day before a star-laden benefit for DKMS Americas in New York, which is set to feature appearances by Rihanna, Halle Berry and cancer survivor Kylie Minogue.
