Following immense public pressure, U.S. officials will finally allow the sister—and perfect stem cell donor match—of a California woman fighting leukemia to come to the United States for a lifesaving transplant.

U.S. officials had three times denied Thuy Nguyen permission to come to America to help save her sister’s life, despite multiple hospitals attesting that Helen Huynh’s cancer was aggressive and she had no time to spare. Officials callously believed Thuy wouldn’t return to Vietnam after the procedure.

Late Wednesday night, Congressman Alan Lowenthal called the family to let them know officials had relented and approved Thuy’s humanitarian parole, clearing the way for her arrival. One of Helen’s daughters has already left for Vietnam to help escort her aunt to the United States.
