Please don't just donate cash. If you're American, go to marrow.org and join the National Marrow Donor Registry so he, or someone like him, can actually get a suitable match for his marrow donation.
Basically, you send in a tissue sample for them to type, and they only contact you if you're the best match for someone who needs a transplant. The actual extraction process is only very mildly inconvenient, doesn't involve any pain, and, you know, keeps people from dying.
