* Unexplained, non-drug induced neutropenia with absolute neutrophils counts of \<1500/µL the previous year, confirmed by repeat testing
* Unexplained, non-drug induced thrombocytopenia with mean platelets counts of \<100,000/µL the previous year, confirmed by repeat testing
* Unexplained, non-hemolytic anemia, with a hemoglobin level of \< 12 g/dL the previous year, confirmed by repeat testing
6. GFR ≥45 mL/min/1.73 m2.
7. AST, ALT ≤4x upper limit of normal, total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dL, normal INR, albumin \>3.0 g/dL
8. Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 40% or shortening fraction ≥26%.
9. Negative pregnancy test for females, unless surgically sterilized.
10. All females of childbearing potential and sexually active males must agree to use a FDA approved method of birth control for up to 24 months after BMT or for as long as they are taking any medication that may harm a pregnancy, an unborn child or may cause birth defect.

5. Females who are pregnant or who are lactating.
6. Allergy to DMSO or any other ingredient used in the manufacturing of the stem cell product.
7. Uncontrolled pulmonary infection, as determined by radiographic findings and/or significant clinical deterioration. NOTE: Pulmonary colonization with multiple organisms is common and will not be considered an exclusion criterion.
8. Uncontrolled infection, as determined by the appropriate imaging and/or confirmatory testing e.g. blood cultures, PCR testing, etc.
9. Recent recipient of any licensed or investigational live attenuated vaccine(s) within 4 weeks of transplant.
10. Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
