Van Sciver and her younger sister,
Kylie, who’s nine, are Inglewood-based sisters in need of a bone marrow donor to help them in their respective fights against sickle cell anemia. The veteran TV star is aiding in the efforts to find the individual who could save both girls’ lives.
“I can’t imagine as a mother, having both your daughters with this disorder, and they can’t find a match,” said actress Christina Applegate (left) of sisters Kimora and Kylie Van Sciver (right). “The more we can get people to do this, then the bigger chance that they have of surviving.” (Photo by Gregg DeGuire/Getty Images for Turner)
