Donor



This makes me feel so much better about myself. Blood type O ftw

If it's too small to read, here it is:

Thank you to all who have made appointments for this event to give a little of yourself, so that others can live.  If you were unable to make an appointment, Walk-ins are Welcome, so please stop in.

In addition to information on patients treated with the blood donated by our community, we also receive letters from grateful recipients. Below is one of the letters that expresses appreciation for your willingness to give the gift of life:

 

Dear Blood Donor,

 

My name is Natalie and I am writing to thank you for helping save my life.

 

At eight months old, I was diagnosed with leukemia.  During my first six weeks of chemotherapy, I received 27 units of blood and underwent a bone marrow transplant.  Today, thanks to the successful bone marrow transplant from my sister, Nicole, and the generosity of blood donors, I am able to resume an active life.

 

Sincerely,

 

Natalie

A Grateful Blood Recipient

 

Blood Donors have an important role in saving countless lives like Natalie, as you may know, every three seconds, someone needs blood.

 

Blood Centers of the Pacific needs to collect approximately 140,000 pints of blood each year fromvolunteer blood donors.  About half of the blood collected comes through our mobile blood drives from groups like yours.


Whoo 100 points! I wonder what I could get with that...
