I know how you feel about the blood. I have a blood disorder that makes me require blood transfusions several times a year. Everytime I sit there and watch the red life giving drip to my worn and exhausted body, knowing within a few days I’ll be able again, and wonder how many people worse off will need what I’m taking.

Kinda stupid cause without it I’d be dead, but. Thanks for giving blood all that time. I’ve been this way since I was 2, while I doubt I got your blood, Thank you for it.

I’ll be praying for you, that things go smoothly, that you get better. The world needs more people like you, and to keep the ones we got.

I’m in. I’ll unload my A negative on the first Red Cross drive I can find.

Yes! I am a blood donor, but have fallen off the wagon since getting pg. Well my son just turned two so I think it’s safe to get back to the blood bank and start donating again! Hopefully it won’t be a problem that I’ve had a few surgeries in the last two years…it seems there are so many reasons they will turn you down. But I’ll definitely try!

I first started after seeing a horrible, horrible car accident. We didn’t stop because so many people already had and obviously we would just be in the way, but I wanted to help somehow. I decided to start donating that afternoon.

I just donated yesterday! I hadn’t donated in 18 months because I was anemic. They called Wednesday night to see if I’d like to donate and I thought I’d try again. I was able to donate! I guess their new testing system is more ‘forgiving’ as the tech said. My numbers were good. So, I encourage those that hadn’t in a while because of being anemic to try again. They test your level right away so you won’t be out too much time if you aren’t able to donate.

My high school son has donated twice! I’m so glad his school has this available and he’s getting into the donation habit young. Also, he may think twice about getting a body piercing or a tattoo if that means he can’t donate for awhile.
