Since I was in high school I wanted to help and donate blood, but the fear of needles always got the best of me...believe me, I got over it and am now a proud blood donor..here's my story:
I was thrilled when I found out that I was expecting my first child, but did not expect to have severe complications after labor which would require many surgeries and blood transfusions in one night to save my life. This is why I am very, very grateful to all the donors who in collaboration with the Red Cross and hospitals help save lives like they saved mine. I always tell others my story to encourage them to donate and explain the easy process. The donation center personnel are very professional and make you feel comfortable during the process. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart as I am living proof that the Red Cross and your blood donations save lives! <3
